Wild Buddy


Please share/crosspost!

Could you donate $5 to save this wild dog that deserves a chance to be a pet?

Buddy is a gorgeous young Great Pyrenees or Pyr/Akbash. He was a wild, timid dog living on his own near Carrolton, GA, so fearful that no one could touch him. He developed some trust in a nice woman who left food out for him and she tried hard to coax him into being petted, but he always shied away. Buddy started hanging around her house, but he was still painfully thin. Buddy was in a terrible situation - needing humans to survive, but too fearful to allow himself to be helped.

We have a wild dog just like Buddy living in our neighborhood named Stoner. Stoner, a huge Pyr/Akbash mix, was the original inspiration for the Doomed Dogs Rescue Club. You can read his story on our website at http://doomeddogs.blogspot.com/2010/12/stoner.html 

Stoner breaks our hearts - he is so thin and so needy, but too wary to be approached so you can help him. My neighbor, Cindy Mozingo, a huge contributor to the Doomed Dogs, is like the nice lady in Carrolton - she feeds Stoner, but she can't pet him!

Anyway, the nice lady in Carrolton was worried about Buddy, so she asked animal control to pick him up. Unlike Stoner who has eluded animal control many times, Buddy did get captured eventually and brought to the kill shelter. Our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta found out about Buddy and rescued him. We agreed to sponsor a portion of the cost of his rescue.

GPRA says that Buddy is very sweet, but still wary - it will take a lot of time and love for him to feel comfortable with people.

Please help us raise the $160 we need to help save Buddy using the ChipIn.

All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can save Buddy and many more!
