Buddy Up Animal Society

Buddy Up Animal Society A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization primarily in southern and mid-coast Maine but also spread across the US. We do not accept owner-surrendered pets.

We're an all-volunteer organization based in southern Maine. We do not currently have a physical shelter, although we are working on that. We shelter rescued animals through a network of foster homes. Buddy Up primarily focuses our efforts on last-chance shelter animals facing euthanasia, those that are left with no advocate, and helping keep pets with their families by providing proper guidance a

nd resources for training and medical aid through our Champ's Fund branch of the organization. If you would like to donate to either cause, please do so here: paypal.me/BuddyUpAnimalSociety

This holiday season, Beauty is looking for one last gift: a warm, loving home to call her own. πŸŽ„β€οΈ

At 15 years old, this sweet Shepherd mix has spent a lifetime giving love, and now she deserves to feel it in every moment of her remaining days. Her soft eyes, gentle soul, and quiet, unwavering devotion can melt even the coldest heart. She doesn’t ask for much - just to be by your side, to be held, to feel safe, and to know she is cherished. 🐾

Beauty is seeking a fospice home, a place to spend her golden years in comfort, peace, and joy. She may move a little slower due to osteoarthritis, but her heart is full of love to give. She still enjoys short, leisurely strolls, sniffing the world, and basking in every ounce of affection offered. 🌸

She’s gentle, people-loving, good with cats, and would thrive as the only dog in the home. She’s never asked for the spotlight, but she deserves all the warmth, care, and love the holidays and life can offer.

This season, you can make a profound difference: give Beauty a home where she feels safe, adored, and celebrated in her final chapter. In return, she will fill your days with unconditional love, quiet companionship, and the kind of devotion only a senior dog can give. 🩷

If you can open your heart to a senior in need, please contact [email protected]
to learn how you can provide hospice care and give Beauty the home she’s been dreaming of.

Let's get Beauty home for the holidays!

A leash is an amazing tool to keep your loved pets safe and not traumatize innocent bystanders. How sad. The poor dog. The poor family.

β–ͺ️Did you know that every 9 minutes someone in the world dies from rabies?
β–ͺ️4 in 10 of these deaths are children
β–ͺ️While 100% preventable, human vaccinations are 50x more expensive than canine vaccinations
β–ͺ️99% of human rabies cases are from a dog bite

This is why vaccination for rabies is so important! Dr. Pierre Giroux feels passionately about this issue and because of this, he has teamed up with Mission Rabies and will be going to Tanzania next year to help vaccinate local dogs there to help protect their communities. Please consider donating to mission rabies if you can, a small amount goes a long way towards saving a life. Their link can be found below.

❄️ Gates near the doors can be an easy problem solver, especially with guests or kids around.

πŸ• But did you know that many dogs need to learn how to live with gates?

πŸŽ„ Gates can help make busy holidays a bit more stress free if your dog learns how to live with gates.

πŸ‘‘ Gates are an easy management win especially if you can't watch the doors all the time which you can't.

πŸš‚ Baby gates on kid bedrooms can save a lot of socks and Legos.

🩲 Baby gates on spare bedrooms can help relieve worry and embarrassment. No one wants their dog running around the house throwing the guest's underwear in the air but it does happen.

Thinking you might need a gate or two for the holidays?

Betty had been working hard to get ready for her very first winter. She was stockpiling and prepping for her long hibernation until a cat grabbed her. Thankfully she was able to escape the cat and make it back to her nest. As time passed she started feeling sick. She didn't have as much energy and her leg and tail ached so much. She knew she had to finish gathering, but had no energy to do so. Her leg was so swollen that she could hardly move it. This morning when she woke up, she made a push to get out into the sunshine....but she just felt too sickπŸ˜”
Adam happened upon the little one and found us. His father rushed little Betty over. We have given her something for pain and a good strong antibiotic. She is most likely septic as her leg is incredibly swollen 😞 We have her in the incubator and are hoping for the best.

Update:
*Betty succumbed to her injuries later that night*

Halfway Home Rehab is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit and relies entirely on donations. All volunteers are simply that; there is no monetary compensation. The work we do is very rewarding. However, the days are exhausting both physically and emotionally. Without your kindness and generosity, the work we do would simply NOT be possible. Thank you for your support!
