This sweet pittie girl has been waiting way too long for her forever couch. Found abandoned on the streets of the Carolinas, likely used as bait in dog fights (her scars tell a story she doesn’t like to dwell on), Luna has every reason not to trust humans, but she’s chosen to love instead.

At just 4 years old, she was tossed aside and ended up on the E list. Not of any fault of her own, but Buddy and friends stepped in and gave her a second shot. Now she’s waiting for someone to make it her last stop.
Luna’s got a PhD in Lap Sitting and a minor in Personal Space Invasion (with kisses, of course). She’s a little shy at first and will need a patient human who lets her set the pace—but once you’re in the circle of trust, you’re in for life.
She’s sassy, snuggly, and secretly a couch potato in disguise. Could you be her person?


ALL dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped and on preventatives.

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.

Let us introduce you to this big, blocky-headed bundle of love. At just 3 years old, Espresso has already lived a tough life. He was found wandering the streets of Randolph, alone, scared, and without anyone to call his own. But even after all that, Espresso has never stopped believing in love. 

Now listen, we get it, he looks like a tough guy. But looks are deceiving, and this boy? He’s 100% certified lap dog. All Espresso wants is to snuggle, get belly rubs, and show you his favorite toy. 


He’s well-trained, super affectionate, and a total staff favorite. If big sloppy kisses, wiggly greetings, and having your own personal shadow sound like your thing… Espresso might just be your soulmate.

BUT…. and this is important….Espresso isn’t for just anyone. He needs a home that understands and respects his breed. He needs a home that has no other dogs, small animals, or small kids. 

Espresso is ready to rock ‘n’ roll out of the shelter and straight into your heart. Is that person you?

Meet Goober – Proof That Hope Never Gives Up 


At 9 years old, Goober’s story is one of resilience. This gentle Pit Bull mix came to Voices For Carolina Animals in South Carolina through a cruelty seizure after years of neglect. He was underweight, battling flea dermatitis, a chest mass, and heartworm disease — yet through it all, Goober never lost his spirit.


Instead, he chose hope. During his evaluation, Goober amazed everyone with his calm, steady temperament and was even selected as the “star dog tester,” helping other dogs feel safe and understood. He gets along beautifully with male and female dogs alike, and he’s quickly become a volunteer favorite for his sweet, soulful nature.


Now, Goober finally has the chance to begin his golden years filled with love, soft beds, and full belly. Goober would do best with a kid free home but is good with other dogs

Edith is a 42-lb hound mix with a gentle heart and a playful spirit who is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. She came into rescue with her brother feeling overwhelmed and unsure, and while she’s still gaining confidence, she’s made wonderful progress in a loving foster home in Massachusetts.


Edith has a moderate-high energy level and truly comes alive when she has space to run and play with other dogs. She is dog friendly and benefits greatly from canine companions who can help show her the ropes. Toys are her absolute favorite, and playtime is where her personality really shines. On leash, Edith is still learning and continues to build confidence with patient guidance and consistency.


Because she can be a bit unsure in new situations, Edith would do best in a dog-savvy home with a structured routine and adopters who understand that confidence grows with time, repetition, and kindness. She has not yet been tested with cats, and she has not yet been around children, though we suspect she may do well with older, dog-savvy kids who can respect her space.


Training is ongoing, and Edith is still learning her house, crate, and leash skills. With continued support, she has all the makings of a loyal, playful companion.


All of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and on preventatives.

Meet Teddy – Brilliantly Trained, Deeply Misunderstood


Teddy is a 2-year-old hound mix who may be one of the most well-trained dogs you’ll ever meet—truly. He knows his commands flawlessly, walks like a professional on leash, and listens better than just about any dog out there. His training foundation is rock solid.


Teddy first came into rescue in 2023 as a young pup searching for someone who truly understood him. He spent the last year in a home he believed was his forever, but unfortunately, consistent training and structure were not maintained, and Teddy found himself back in rescue through no fault of his own.


Teddy does have some quirks that require an experienced, committed adopter. He struggles with resource guarding, particularly with high-value items like sticks. Because of this, Teddy needs a home that understands management is key no access to high-value items, and clear boundaries around privileges like couches and human beds, which must be earned and structured.


With the right person, someone who understands training, structure, and leadership, Teddy will absolutely thrive. He is not a “project,” but he is a dog who needs consistency and understanding to feel secure. In return, you’ll get an incredibly smart, loyal, and capable companion who truly deserves a forever home that won’t give up on him.


His ideal house would be adult only or older kids, no other dogs, or cats. 


Teddy isn’t for everyone but for the right person, he could be everything. 


All of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and on preventatives.

Adoption

Be their second chance

Each year, it's estimated that more than one million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and too few people consider adoption when looking for a pet. The number of euthanized animals could be reduced dramatically if more people adopted pets instead of buying them. FOUR MILLION HIGHLY ADOPTABLE DOGS ARE KILLED EACH YEAR IN THIS COUNTRY'S "SHELTERS." THAT IS 1 DOG EVERY 13 SECONDS. When you adopt, you save a loving animal by making them part of your family and open up a foster home for another animal who might desperately need it. Animal shelters and rescue groups are brimming with happy, healthy pets just waiting for someone to take them home. Most shelter pets wound up there because of a human problem like a move or a divorce, not because the animals did anything wrong.  


Adopting is cheaper than buying. Rescue dogs are already spayed or neutered and vaccinated and given a clean bill of health when they leave the rescue. When you purchase a dog at a pet shop, online, from a puppy mill, or from a breeder, you will pay the purchase price plus the cost of vaccinating and spaying or neutering plus other medical costs associated with helping that dog reach its optimal state of health.

Foster to Adopt Program

effective 1.31.22

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.
