When you’re just not sure where to look when taking a selfie… 🤣📸

Poor Buddy is wondering what he’s missing. 💔 He hasn’t received a single adoption application, and we truly can’t understand why.

At just 2 years old, Buddy is a happy-go-lucky, smart, lovable boy who’s ready to leave shelter life behind. He’s eager to learn, loves people, gets along well with other dogs, and is just waiting for someone to show him how wonderful life in a forever home can be.

He’s done waiting… now he just needs someone to give him a chance. Could that be you? ❤️

Apply to adopt Buddy today at www.onangelswings.org.
