Buddy is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

He's a handsome dog.

Buddy is a 7-1/2-year-old, 59-pound, male, Terrier mix.

He was at a crowded shelter in the Imperial Valley before being transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS).

He’s a charming and loyal companion. Buddy is also very handsome. He’s perfectly satisfied as long as he has a warm, comfortable bed where he can nap and a few squeaky toys.

The $75 adoption fee for Buddy includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if his new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society. If the adopter is 60 or older, the fee is paid by a benefactor.
