Buddy Boy
“Hi, hello! I’m Buddy Boy, a gentle Boxer mix who craves nothing more than love and affection. Though I first appear a tad nervous and shy, I’m quick to open up to people and, eventually, won’t be afraid to ask for one of my favorite things: belly rubs. I’m generally a calm and laid-back type of guy; I enjoy naps and short walks (some joint pain prevents me from going too far, but I receive laser therapy for this). However, I LOVE toys – especially those of the squeaky variety! I’m a bit dog-selective and may do best in a home of my own, though it’s been noted I tend to do better with girl dogs than other boy dogs. I’m hopeful that my perfect human companion is out there looking for me, and I look forward to meeting them! Could that be you…?”
Buddy Boy’s treats are sponsored by Kathy Kelly. Thank you, Kathy!
Hi, Future Geezer Guardian!
Our primary goal at OFSDS is to find lifelong placements for senior dogs where they can live the remainder of their lives as a part of a family. Most of our Old Friends that you see at the Sanctuary are available through our forever foster program.
Through sponsorships, donations, and grants, we provide medical care and basic needs to the dogs living in forever foster homes.
Being a Geezer Guardian to an Old Friend is different than fostering for other rescues in that we hope that our Guardians will be forever homes for the remainder of their Geezer’s life. Geezer Guardians must be within 100 miles of Mt. Juliet, TN, as we expect our Old Friends to continue seeing our in-house veterinarian. If you live outside our 100-mile radius and would like to adopt a senior dog, we recommend contacting your local shelter as there are many senior dogs in need of loving retirement homes. You may also consider sponsoring an Old Friend by clicking “Sponsor” on that Old Friend’s profile page!
Because our main goal is to place senior dogs in safe, lifetime homes, we do not charge any fees. For more information or to apply to be a Geezer Guardian, click here.
