Meet Buddy!

Buddy is a handsome, happy-go-lucky Golden Retriever born on January 7, 2023, weighing 62 lbs of pure love and energy. He was purchased from a breeder as a very young puppy to be an emotional support animal for a handicapped individual. Sadly, due to the person’s declining mental health, they are no longer able to care for Buddy - through no fault of his own. The good news? Buddy is healthy, with no known medical conditions, and ready to start his next chapter with a forever family.

Buddy is the definition of a sweet, affectionate, and good-natured companion. He loves people and greets new friends with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. He’s playful, enjoys toys and treats, and even likes bath time (yes, really!). Buddy knows Sit and Stay, walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and has a solid understanding of house manners.

He does wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company. He has only recently met a cat and is still trying to decide if they are friend or foe, so a cat-savvy home would need slow introductions. Buddy is an active boy and thrives with regular exercise and engagement.

Important home requirements:



Not a good fit for a tether, invisible fence, or apartment/condo/mobile home


Will require a large, securely fenced yard


Best suited for an active family


Would do well with dog-savvy children



Buddy is looking for a family who will embrace his energy, continue his positive routines, and give him the love and stability he deserves. If you’re searching for a loyal, joyful companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Buddy may be your perfect match.

Buddy is ready to find his furever home—could it be with you?

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.

Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.

While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.

FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
