Buddy

Meet Buddy! ​Oh our Buddy, what a wonderful boy he is. Buddy was found wandering around property on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. You can tell by the many scars on his face that he has lived a hard life. Once you spend 30 seconds with Buddy you can see he has a good soul and a heart of gold. One that desperately wants to open up to you, yet is cautiously reserved while getting to know you. Buddy is a quiet and serious dog, he has never been afforded the luxury of having fun or being care free but that is exactly what we plan to find for him, a home where he can enjoy some of the finer things in life, a comfy bed, a human (or two or three) who love him. We did get to see joy on Buddy’s face when we loaded him in the car to head north, he absolutely loves watching out the window. Buddy sat and watched for hours as we drove along the desert landscape with the most precious and innocent smile on his face. He enjoys cuddling in your lap and leaning into you as he stands at your side. He is potty trained, does great on leash and is good with other dogs and kids. This sweet soul is ready to leave his hard past behind and find his new happy place. He just wants to be, well, your buddy. He is being fostered in Bend, OR.

steps to adopting

  • The first step to adopting from The Rawley Project is to make the $5 suggested application donation here.

  • The second step is to complete the adoption application here. The application takes 3-5 business days to be reviewed. Once completed and approved it is good for all dogs, multiple use and kept on file for 1 year.

Our Vetting policy

  • Puppies (under 1 year of age) have received a veterinarian exam prior to departing, rabies vaccination (if over 4 months old), up to 3 rounds of DHLPP (dependent on age), Bordetella (kennel cough), deworming, flea/tick preventative, heart worm test and sterilization. Any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by The Rawley Project. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you. We highly recommend you take you new pet to a veterinarian for a fecal test as parasites are very common in shelter environments and while they are treated before departure, they may need additional rounds of medication.

  • Adults (1 year and older) are up to date on rabies and DHPP vaccinations and accompany their most recent medical records from a veterinarian. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability. Once you take physical possession of the animal the responsibility lies with you.

OUR REHOMING & RETURN POLICY

  • While we expect you to enter into any adoption with the intention to commit to being that pets forever home, if you should determine, after significant efforts have been made on your part, that an animal you adopt from The Rawley Project is not the right fit for your home we ask that you contact us. We do not have a physical shelter and cannot physically take your animal into our care immediately; however, we will work with you to either rehome the animal or move it into one of our foster homes when available.

    **Please note that adoption fees are NON-REFUNDABLE regardless of the amount of time the animal has spent with you. Should you take an animal home prior to signing the adoption contract, it is assumed, by your physical possession of the animal, that you are accepting the terms of said contract.
