Adoptable Senior Pet

Senior Dog Sanctuary


Meet Bud


Meet Bud, a 10-year-old neutered male boxer mix! Bud was brought to Howard County animal shelter after being abandoned by his owner. Bud is a very good boy who is looking for his forever home. He's become sweet and calm in his old age and walks very well on a leash. He knows "sit" and "paw" and takes the treat gently from your hand. Bud is looking for a nice soft place to call his home and live out his golden years. He is sad being at the sanctuary and deserves the best!


He also does well around other dogs.


If you are interested in meeting Bud, please visit our website and submit an adoption application today!
