About Budda
Meet Budda, a dignified and beautiful German Shepherd who embodies the essence of grace in his golden years. At 13 years and two months old, Budda has gracefully embraced his wiser days, embracing a life of tranquillity and contentment. With a gentle demeanor and a heart full of love, Budda is looking for the perfect retreat to spend the rest of his life with a caring family who will cherish his gentle company.
A connoisseur of comfort and companionship, Budda delights in the simple joys of life. While his hoofed miles on life’s journey have caught up with his bones, Budda still enjoys leisurely strolls filled with the subtle scents and sounds that intrigue his curious nose. These short ambles are the highlight of his day, providing a beautiful backdrop to share quiet moments and deep connections with his human companions.
Budda is unflappable, with a calm presence that brings a sense of serenity wherever he roams. He's incredibly kind-hearted and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him an ideal companion if you're seeking a gentle and sociable pet to join your family. Beyond his friendly nature, Budda loves nothing more than a cozy cuddle, nestling into his favorite spot beside you for some quality snuggle time.
In his easeful years, Budda seeks a loving sanctuary where he can spend his days enjoying the simple pleasures of life - a sunny spot to nap in, a gentle hand for petting, and a warm heart to share his love and loyalty. If your home can offer this lovely gentleman the peaceful retreat he deserves, Budda would love to become part of your family and fill your days with his warmth and charm.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
