Buddy & Friends Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer organization based in Pembroke, MA. We rely solely on the backbone of our rescue which is fosters and volunteers. We exist to rescue and re-home unwanted dogs.
"To rescue, is to heal a heart that we didn’t break.
It's an incredible honor to do that."
Your support and contributions will enable us to help more dogs. All donations to support the rescue efforts are tax deductible.

This is Izzy. We assume she is the mother of Dillon who was adopted back in 2021, they were dumped together. Izzy had heartworm but has been treated. She now has a clean bill of health. Izzy loves the water and loves to run. She LOVES cookies!!
Izzy is not afraid of strangers and is very outgoing. We need to pull this girl. She’s been patiently waiting her turn. Izzy needs an active family and a yard to play in. Her tail was half docked and we do not know what happened but her personality shines right through. Izzy gets along with all dogs. She is NOT cat tested.
She will be a great family dog.
Due to our own shelter being full, we need actual commitments on these dogs before we can pull them up.
ALL dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped and on preventatives.

Meet Matilda (aka Tilly, aka Her Majesty of Side-Eye).
Currently holding court at Buddy & Friends Animal Rescue
Profession: Drama queen, sunbather, emotional support burrito
Matilda didn’t lose a leg, she dropped the dead weight and leveled up. With tripod confidence and a stare that says, “bless your heart,” Tilly delivers grace, sass, and main character energy wherever she goes.
Loves:
• Cuddling under blankets like royalty
• Leisurely evening strolls (especially if mulch hills are involved)
• Staring directly into your soul with mild disapproval
Not a fan of:
• Other dogs
• Cats
• Rushing. This queen moves at her own speed
Tilly is affectionate, curious, and loyal to her people. Once you’re in her circle, she’ll be your forever shadow, side-eye and all

She will let her foster mon pick her up and on occasion she will jump in her lap to get hugs and kisses. Sweet dog with a sweet temperament. Loves hanging outside and she is the perfect size for someone looking for a smaller/medium dog.

Chevys ideal future home is an older couple, no other animals, and the understanding she can’t have high value items (Bully sticks, bones,) she plays with toys, and we do take them from her and give them back, so she knows whatever life she had before that made her feel like she had to defend her stuff, is over.
She’s learning strangers don’t mean her harm and some of them are actually pretty cool.
It’s huge progress.
If you have time and patience to give her, she’s your girl. We truly love her and really want to see her in a loving home. She deserves it.

Henry’s idea of a perfect day? A game of fetch, a good nap on your lap (yes, all 70 lbs of him), and being told he’s a very handsome boy. He’s great with older kids and knows how to chill out after playtime.
Bonus points: He recently hitched a ride in a sports car and looked like he owned the dealership.
Henry’s been winning hearts left and right and now he just needs his forever home. Ask us about fostering or adopting this certified good boy™ today!

Hasko is a little nervous at first, but she is 100% love bug!!! She needs heartworm treatment which will run Tina about $800. Hasko is great with other dogs and plays really well. She was out running around with Lucky and had a blast. Hasko is a calm girl though and would do best with a dog with mild energy.
She will be available in a few weeks for adoption.
Due to our own shelter being full, we need actual commitments on these dogs before we can pull them up.

JT is a work in progress. He is a sweet and timid pup who's had a rough start in life. Despite being shy and scared, JT tries his best to be brave. He walks well on a leash with minimal pulling and is eager to please.
Jt's past is marked by scars, both physical and emotional. He has scars on his legs and seems hesitant around people, suggesting he's had limited socialization. We are working hard with him to get him comfortable with people.
When introduced to a toy, JT was confused, indicating he's never experienced playtime before. Despite all this, JT's willingness to try and his sweet demeanor make him a lovable companion. He needs patience, understanding, and guidance to help him overcome his fears and thrive.

Foster to Adopt program!!
This program will be for all dogs that are on their way up from TN. We have removed our age requirements. Want to spend more than an hour with your new furry friend to see if they are the right dog for you? Great! This program is just for you. No commitments and the rescue for the first 7 days pays for all your pups needs. By day 7, if your pup does not work out, then you continue fostering until we find him or her their furever home. This also works out for us as we won't have to worry about our dogs making more transitions than necessary.
If you are interested, please email Foster@buddyandfriendsma.org
We are ALWAYS looking to add more permanent fosters to our foster base. We pay for EVERYTHING and the only commitment you have is to keep your pup loved and safe. We provide vet visits, toys, treats, kennel, and food. You will also become a part of our already awesome foster team. You just provide a loving home while your foster pup waits for their furever family. Apply to foster below.
