buffy

Buffy was found locked inside a cage on the side of a freeway with two other dogs. Likely hundreds of people drove by and did nothing, but one kind woman stopped to help. Her name is Anna and we thank her for saving their lives.

They had no collars, tags, or microchips. We don’t know exactly how long they were out there, but by the looks of it, it was likely several days. They had no food or water. Their paws were so caked in dried poop that they were stuck to the metal cage and couldn’t move.

Now safe and thriving at Shelter Hope, we named them Xander, Buffy, and Angel.

Buffy is a 7-year-old Pom mix weighing about 23 pounds. She is gentle, super sweet, and a bit timid at first, but once she warms up she becomes friendly, affectionate, and very cuddly. She loves attention, enjoys being petted, and is happiest curled up in a lap or resting beside her people. Buffy has a calm, loving nature, does well with other dogs, and is good with kids.

Buffy is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption. She’s looking for a forever home where she can finally feel safe, cherished, and truly at home.
