Buddy & Friends Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer organization based in Pembroke, MA. We are NOT a shelter facility and 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.
We have adopted out over 698 dogs since 2021 as of 4/2024
Your support and contributions will enable us to help more dogs. All donations to support the rescue efforts are tax deductible.

Clyde is a 2 yr. Old California Dog Mix, weighing in at 47 lbs.
He’s awesome and is currently being fostered in Pembroke. Clyde is a nervous boy but all he wants is love. He is sweet as can be. He gently takes treats and even knows some basic commands.
Clyde is afraid of bigger dogs and takes slow introductions to other dogs in general. He currently plays with a 5-month-old puppy, but steers clear of the other 2 adult dogs in the home who are much bigger than he is. He plays tug-o-war with buster and they both run around the yard. It took about 3 weeks for Clyde to feel ok with him. We believe he may have had another dog not be kind which has resulted in this behavior.
We are asking for older kids with Clyde as he can still play rough, and we wouldn't want littles to get knocked over when he gets excited. He LOVES Ato play fetch and sometimes might take the toy for a game of tag. He does currently reside with a 9 and 14 yr. old. and he is gentle with both.
Clyde does not mind hanging out in his crate and is potty trained.
He is truly a great dog for someone who is willing to take the time with him. He will melt your heart.
ALL dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped and on preventatives.

Age: 4/1/20

Current Weight: 76 lbs
Nick unfortunately was not taken back by the rescue that adopted him out after several emails not only from animal control but the owner as well. This is where we stepped in.
Nick has undergone a 3-week board and train with our training facility and has brushed up on some much-needed manners. He is now fully trained! This boy is a goof ball. He is very sweet and enjoys walks, toys and butt scratches. One of Nicks favorite toys is his Kong.
Nick went to the vet today and was a very good boy until he realized a blood draw was involved. Otherwise, he did great and is healthy.
We are looking for a home with older children as we have not seen him with littles and don’t want to place him where he doesn’t belong.

From his foster mom:
Mr. Man is what I would call a “worth it work in progress”. He does not have a single bad intention in his head. He’s basically a puppy in an adults body- he needs help making good choices. Mr. Man is going to need an active, patient home who is willing for training to be a daily part of his routine. This boy loves learning new things and it is a great way to get his brain and body to relax. He is a go go go type of dog and we are working hard to help him be able to self soothe and relax more. Every day I see improvement in him choosing to be settled instead of wild. This is because we truly work on his training every. single. day. This boy is so full of personality and love. He wants to be as close to his humans as possible. He is slowly figuring out squeaky toys. His signature moves it to pick a toy up and then give you his butt so you can give him scratches. He does very well in his crate, sleeps through the night. He will whine when he is in the crate, and you are doing things around the house— but I think that the more we work on self-soothing the better this will get. Mr. Man is also potty trained! He knows his basic obedience very well, and when his brain is focused, he has distance and duration down. Often times he is in ADHD mode and needs some help remembering his manners. He has learned some fun tricks like doggie pushups, and paw. He is working to learn sir pretty, a hold trick and center. Mr. Man is working hard on learning not to jump when he gets too excited, but he doesn’t know how big he is so I would say he would do best without small kids in the house. He can be mouthy when overstimulated, but the more he works on his training the better he gets! This boy has nothing but love to give and with some patience and guidance he will make someone an amazing dog.

From Nora's foster mom:
Nora is an incredible dog. She’s silly and sweet. We've discovered that she enjoys playing fetch and tug of war.
Initially, I think she was a bit startled by my cat, but it seems like she has finally accepted him and his baldness. In fact, she even allowed him to take a nap with her while I worked nearby. I believe she would do well in a home with cats, as long as the introductions are slow. Nora has been incredibly friendly towards every person she has met so far. When she wants attention and affection, she likes to hold a toy in her mouth. It seems to boost her confidence.
She has been doing a fantastic job following commands and gets extremely excited when she knows it's time for a walk. Her absolute favorite spot in the house is my couch. Our family has truly fallen in love with Nora, and we are more than happy to give her a temporary home until she finds her forever family.
Nora is approved for cats and dogs.

Kali came to us and needed some training to help build confidence. She underwent a 3 week aboard and train to help her learn new ways to live.
Since then, she has been doing well in her foster home and settling in.
She's shy and nervous when she meets new people, more so with men. But will warm up quickly, especially if they have a toy or treats. She is a work in progress.
We do not know how Kali is with children, so we are asking for an adult only home. Kali does well with lack back dogs.
She is great on the leash and settles well for crate time after a long walk.
When she is really happy, she makes moaning/grumbly noises that are so adorable. Loves to play fetch and/or pull. Squeaky toys are her favorite. Will shred anything stuffed.

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.
