Day 20 / 31 — Wootan 
November 9th - via: kickstarter.com
No one knows whether Wootan was abandoned or born a stray. After he joined a family with two young boys, the tension he carried came out as resource guarding, a habit he likely learned to survive. Resource guarding means protecting food or things he... (Read More)
Day 19 / 31 — Allie & Zen
November 8th - via: kickstarter.com
The last of the Shimabara siblings: two sisters who share one card. Zen was full of curiosity, and full of fear. She was always the first to approach something new, and the first to run away from it. Allie was more cautious, but she didn't scare... (Read More)
Day 18 / 31 — Kina
November 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Kina was rescued as a senior after a puppy mill collapsed. She had been bred over and over. It seemed she had never been outside a cage; her steps were uncertain and awkward. A family with young children welcomed her. There, for the first time, Kina... (Read More)
Day 17 / 31 — Sox
November 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Sox grew up in a shelter, from puppyhood to age three. Maybe because of her bold face and big energy, she was the only one of her siblings never chosen. Foster homes are a big part of how Buddies works. Dogs leave the shelter and live in a real home... (Read More)
Day 16 / 31 — Kyle
November 5th - via: kickstarter.com

Day 15 / 31 — Shima
November 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Another of the Shimabara siblings. Shima's name comes from the place he was found. He was the youngest at heart of the litter, always keeping part of his body pressed against someone else. The home that welcomed him already had two small senior dogs.... (Read More)
Day 14 / 31 — Mochi
November 3rd - via: kickstarter.com

Day 13 / 31 — Bonta
November 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
When Bonta was surrendered, his teeth were all worn smooth and flat, every one of them. As a vet, I always check a dog’s teeth. They help us estimate age and tell us a lot about how a dog has been living. I’ve seen teeth like Bonta’s in other... (Read More)

Day 10 / 31 — Bee
October 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Bee was abandoned soon after birth. As her sisters found families one by one, she was left alone in a cage. The first time she went outside, her body froze and she couldn't take a single step. At Buddies, our rescue dogs don't just wait for families.... (Read More)
Day 9 / 31 — Chandler
October 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Chandler spent over a year in a shelter. Because he was considered timid, he was rarely taken outside or given time with other dogs. He grew up without a carefree puppyhood. Today he lives with four cats and another dog. (Two of the cats are named... (Read More)

October 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
