Buddy was saved by a compassionate volunteer!

Buddy Holly needed to find a home pronto. A wonderful family jumped in to help and offered to foster Buddy for Illinois Birddog Rescue. Here's what his foster dad reported after Buddy's arrival:

"Bud has arrived at my place and all is well.
He went to the vet this morning and had a good meal. Besides being all skin and bones, having a few minor health issues, he is fine and a really sweet guy.
The first thing we did when we got him here was to have him play with Scout & Ally and get all the dog stuff out of the way. The next thing was a very much needed bath.

He is a really sweet guy with a great temperament. His age is two. He listens, knows his way around the house and I am told he is house broken. All he needs is a little discipline for in the house.
As you can see in the picture below, I am strictly enforcing the rule to "never spoil your bird dog."
He will make someone a nice companion. I am told he is gun shy, but if he is birdie enough, he could overcome that. It looks like he has the physique of a nice bird dog and has no dew claws. He was definitely bred for hunting.
Now all we have to do is find him a home."
