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 dogs that would not have a chance otherwise.
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.

We want YOU!
Simba is a super goofy dog who loves to play with his squeaky toys. He loves his adult people, and he always wants attention from his human friends.
Simba has a lot of puppy attitudes still. You get the puppy energy, but he’s crate and potty trained! He loves to do his training and will work even for his plain kibble! Treats are like an extra fun reward for Mr. Simba.
He is a rockstar for the vet, good in the tub and lets us cut his toenails! He is going to make someone a great pup! Simba is a high energy boy so NO small children— he’s not sure how big he is when he’s zooming around, and he easily gets over stimulated. He’s like a bull in a China shop when he gets over stimulated, but we still love his smooshy butt anyways.
Simba does experience separation anxiety and easily gets over stimulated. He does require an experienced handler. He prefers to eat his bones and play with toys without other dogs around so other dogs are fine as long as there are not resources involved.
ALL dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped and on preventatives.

Clyde is a sweet loving pup. Clyde loves to play, but he’s also down to hang out on your couch for some cuddles. He likes to sometimes just hang in his crate and watch what’s going on around him. Clyde is one of the more low-key dogs I have had.
Clyde would do best in a home with another confident dog to help him continue on figuring out how to dog. He gets nervous upon meet and greets with other dogs, so he is going to require patience.
He’s a super sweet boy and will make a family very happy.

Andrea and her lovely husband have been fostering Dally. We took her back a few months ago after realizing that she was in a home that wasn’t the right fit for her. Dogs are my soul, and I know there is an incredible human out there for this girl. We try not to get attached but it happens. We all love this dog.
From her foster mom:
Miss Dally is a ton of fun! She can entertain herself wrestling with her blanket or playing with toys. She gets along unbelievably well with our resident dog. They love chasing each other, playing, wrestling, swimming and going on walks. She's got a TON of energy but will easily crash on the couch, her favorite place in the house. She freely shares kisses and hugs and loves to snuggle. And She's a champ at supervising when we're in the kitchen. She's not a fan of the crate and gets anxious in the car but we try to take her somewhere fun each time she goes. She has loved everyone that she has met

From his foster family:
Gill, lovingly nicknamed Trip, is starting to come out of his shell. He loves to smell flowers, chase bees & loves our pond (he is definitely a water dog). He’s potty trained, doing well on leash - although still nervous with loud sounds. He’s timid at first with people but after some patience he’s your friend and he hasn’t met a dog he didn’t love! He’ll make a great family dog especially if there is another pup to help with his confidence.

Sky is such a sweet girl. She is temperament tested and will make a great addition to any home. Sky loves to run and play with the other dogs. Sky loves water! She knows how to settle and hang out. There is no greater gift around the holidays than sharing it with a shelter dog who needs you.
Can you give her a temporary place to stay while she finds her forever home?

Hi future best friend! My name is Grace and according to my foster family, I’m really awesome! They tell me all the time how sweet I am and how much they love my kisses and snuggles and my overall affectionate and loving presence. I love to eat, play, go on walks, sleep, and run….I love all my dog friends that I live with and my cat friend too! I know how to sit when asked, especially when I see a yummy treat in one of my humans' hands (which of course I take super gently when invited to!) I sleep all night in my crate and am working on potty training. I can’t wait to meet you!!

Meet Cooper
Breed: Hound Mix
Estimated age: 11 Mo.
Weight: Approx 60 lbs.
This boy is truly looking for his partner in crime and best friend! Cooper loves other dogs but sometimes needs help understanding when another dog is done playing with him. Cooper plays very well and loves a good play wrestle! On walks cooper walks well and loves to sniff everything in sight. His main priorities are his own curiosity and his desire for your approval, sometimes the curiosity just wins out. Cooper knows sit, paw, down, and stay and is very patient for his food. He loves treats and is a super trainable dog. Someone able to put in the time and patience to train him and build his confidence will have an amazing and obedient dog to adventure with! Cooper is crate trained and potty trained. He is a bit cautious of men at first but quickly grows comfortable once he knows he is safe! This boy is truly a love bug and deserves the most loving and happy home that he can give all his love to!

Abby is soooo sweet. She’s all puppy with her playful energy, sweet snuggles, and giant feet ~ but she’s also fantastic in the crate (not a peep!) Abby is also almost completely house trained (she’s had two indoor accidents in a week, and both were when we weren’t paying attention to her cues).
Abby loves playing with our resident dog, and she lives in a home with one older (almost 9-year-old) child. I have no reason to believe that she wouldn’t do great with younger kids as well.
Abby really is a dream pup!!

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.
