Featured Pup of the Week: Buddy 🐶

Say hello to Buddy, the adorable 12 year-old resident of Dorchester Paws!

From Dorchester Paws:

“At 12 years old, Buddy’s story with us began quietly—left overnight in his crate at our doors. But that’s just the beginning, not the whole story. Since then, we’ve learned he’s a gentle soul who loves leisurely walks (he’s easy on the leash!), relaxing in the sunshine, and people-watching from his kennel. He’s a treat connoisseur, a professional napper, and an all-around good boy.

Buddy may be starting over later in life, but he’s ready to write a new chapter with someone who sees just how special he is. 💛”
