Buddy’s Animal Rescue began with Buddy,
a loyal rescue dog who refused to let his human
go to the hospital without him!

The rescued Beagle’s remarkable true story of riding an ambulance to be with his new owner spawned International news coverage trended on YAHOO,  and helped found Buddy’s Animal Rescue.

When JR had to go to the hospital via ambulance, Buddy would not be left behind and rode for miles and miles down rugged Mason County roads on the step of the ambulance headed to the hospital in Fredericksburg, Texas  – a distance of over forty miles – until someone flagged down the driver! Buddy finished the ride inside the ambulance taking good care of his human, as it should be.

Sadly, Buddy and JR have both passed away but are, no doubt, riding a heavenly ATV together and making sure everything is in order on the heavenly ranch in the sky.

     Buddy’s Animal Rescue (“BAR”) started with a group of dedicated volunteers who shared a vision to help facilitate the powerful relationship between humans and at-risk animals.
