If you want to see the face of joy, extremely happy to be alive, a thrilling personality, nothing ever upsets me, I love every moment and everyone in it, this is Joey. He flunked out of dog training school. One month, no intervention from the owners, and the staff was at a loss, no answers on how to corral his 90-lb enthusiasm with just his experience of waking up every day. He pulled, jumped -- all those things that are supposed to be no-nos. The owners were the best. They agreed that it was his personality, and let it be. Time has passed. He's here with me tonight, and a couple of years have done what the $1,000 training session failed to accomplish. He and Bobby are playing, but there's a level of composure that just now evolved. He's sort of a Golden Retriever on steroids. Love him to absolute pieces.

Bobby is due a raise here at Mary's Buddies (the yellow dog). His interaction with the dogs that come to stay with us is quality. Small, shy dogs, he puts the sweet face on them and allows them to feel safe and comfortable. When it's a large and more rambunctious dog, Bobby is ready to kick into high play gear. He's like a service dog for dogs. How lucky for Mary's Buddies to have him on board!

About Us

The checklist for all things dog related is now checked in the 'yes' box. I've always had my own pack of dogs, usually two or three at a time. One day I saw an ad for volunteers needed at a local rescue group. I joined their team as a 'stash house,'a temporary respite between leaving the vet clinics and their forever homes. Then 10 years ago, I was fortunate enough to join a dog-walking company and made this my full-time profession from that day until now. The most logical next step was to create Mary's Buddies. It's proof to me now that you really can work at what you love most!

There's quite a variety of personalities and specific needs that you find with dogs. High-energy dogs are especially grateful for a break in the day when they can enjoy a long walk and active playtime. With senior dogs, maybe their needs are simply bathroom breaks, moderate exercise, and companionship. Puppies require an experienced person to keep their training routine consistent and on track. During the past 10 years, I think it's safe to say there's simply not much in the way of surprises now! With any dog I've ever met, there is the need for a loving person to make their day a happy one, and at the same time giving their owner the peace of mind knowing all is well with their cherished pets.
