This is Buddy.
He's about six years old. Buddy is a special needs dog here at Smiling Dog Farms because he has cancer.
Buddy came to us from Sarasota, Florida. He spent most of his life with a family, chained in the backyard with little stimulation. He finally was sent to the Sarasota Humane Society, where he met two independent rescuers, Stephanie and Asli.
It was at the Humane Society that Buddy was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, which is a malignant cancer that attacks the skin and the spleen. The Humane Society had the skin lesions surgically removed, but his cancer diagnosis made him unadoptable.
Working on behalf of the Sarasota Humane Society, Stephanie and Asli asked us to
provide hospice care for Buddy. We agreed that Buddy could live out however many
days 
God gave him, here at the farm.
You'd never know Buddy was sick to look at him! Here, he is enjoying the sunshine
out on the deck at the beach house in Galveston. He
is smiling because he knows he
is getting ready to go down to the beach. Buddy likes the water!
We are giving Buddy Paw Paw, a holistic herbal treatment for cancer. There is research that shows Paw Paw has put cancer in remission in many of the dogs treated with it. We are also giving him Petinic, a liquid vitamin to promote overall wellness and help his body fight the cancer.
Dr. Stern, our veterinarian, will continue to monitor Buddy's cancer and look for any signs of remission.
In our wildest dreams, we are hoping Buddy will beat the cancer! Then he can be adopted by a caring family who will appreciate what a special, loving guy he is. He is great with other dogs, and does not seem to have an aggressive bone in his body.
In the meantime, Buddy will live with us at the farm as one of our Sanctuary Dogs, and enjoy every day he has left.

There is no such thing as a gift too small!
We have all heard that before, and there is a reason, it is completely true! Even a monthly gift of $10.00 helps greatly to support one of these dogs.
