If you are interested, have questions, or to schedule a personal viewing for this companion only, please contact Ms. Laurie Jane Eberle, volunteer for Love of Animals, Visalia Division, Visalia, California, at 559-697-5070 or laurie@loveofanimals.org.

Bud was found wandering in a business parking lot in Visalia and of all things one of our foster parents works there. When the employees saw him all eyes turned to her. Bud is such a sweet heart and a lover but we have to question why someone would want to cut his left ear down.

Bud is in foster care in a home with other canine companions and has come out of his shell but it took time. He is very submissive and will cower down when you use a harsh voice. Foster mom makes it a point to call him with a laugh in her voice and give him time to receive his treat. Please, open your heart to this little guy who has already been harmed by humans and show him he never has to endure whatever his previous life was like.

As with any new companion, it is wise to spend good quality time with them and let them explore their new surrounding while you set the boundaries. It is also good to make sure they have a "special" area they can escape to when company comes. This will make both you and your companion have a much better relationship.
