Buddy
3 years old, neutered male, staffordshire mix, 55 pounds. Buddy Holly is in a foster home in the Dallas, TEXAS area and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up!
I'm athletic, funny, loyal, and velcro dog to my humans. Since I am an attention hog I do better in a home where I am the only dogand cats and I do not get along. I'm always up for a game of fetch or a nice long walk, and I'm always listening for my next command. While I am an active dog and enjoy daily walks, I am super lazy in the home and love a good snuggle and am a professional sleeper.
My foster mom says I'm super smart and a quick learner - I already know how to sit, stay, and come when called! I'm fully housebroken and I've never had an accident in my foster home. I'm also crate trained but would rather be in the room next to my human.
If you're looking for a fun-loving, sweet, furry companion, I'm the perfect boy for you. I'm an all-around great dog who's just looking for a forever home where I can spend my days getting plenty of love, exercise, and attention. If you think we're a match, please fill out an adoption application,
I can't wait to meet you and start our adventures together!
Forms and Applications

Foster Application
At Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue, our foster program is the cornerstone of our mission to make a significant impact on the lives of numerous dogs.
​
Do you have an available spot on your couch or floor? By becoming a foster parent to a dog, you have the power to save a precious life. All these dogs require is a safe place to rest their heads at night. Everything else, from supplies to medical care, is provided by the rescue. Without the dedication of fosters, hundreds of dogs wouldn't survive the shelter system. You can be their hero by offering them a temporary home until they find their forever families.
​
Each time a foster parent opens their home, a kennel space becomes available, thus saving another life. Fostering allows you to make a double impact by saving two lives. Concerned about your work schedule? Many fosters and rescues successfully balance fostering with full-time jobs. Have children? Some dogs absolutely adore kids. Worried about becoming attached? Remember, letting them go to their forever homes is always preferable to the alternative of being euthanized due to lack of space.
​
Dizzy Dog Animal Rescue is constantly seeking both short-term and long-term fosters. If you have any inquiries about fostering or if you're ready to save a dog in need, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Your compassion and willingness to foster can truly change a dog's life.

Testimonials
We found Ajax on Petfinder December 31st, 2022.
​
I didn't think my boyfriend was wanting me to put in an application for him because we had JUST agreed to wait until Christmas 2023 to rescue a pup.
However, the next day we were sitting there on the couch looking at his profile again and I was asked if I had the application in for him yet and right then, we decided we would apply and do whatever we needed to get him home.
We've had home for about 3 days now and he fits in so perfectly. Our old man gets to sleep and relax more ( and our young pup gets along with him and they LOVE to run and play in the backyard together.
​
We couldn't thank Dizzy Dog enough for helping get us wonderful ball of energy.
