Meet BUDDY ZANDER, a four-legged sidekick with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This handsome 10-month-old pitbull is our pet of the week from It Takes a Village. BUDDY ZANDER is currently living it up at ITV's Spencer County location, waiting for his forever family to find him.

BUDDY ZANDER is a total goofball who loves to be the center of attention. Whether he’s showing off his best zoomies or flashing that irresistible puppy grin, he knows how to turn on the charm! His previous owner said he hasn’t had much experience around other animals, so a meet-and-greet with any potential doggy siblings would be a great idea.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, adventure-ready pup, Buddy Zander is your guy! 🐾 Ready to meet him? Fill out an application at ITVrescue.org and give this lovable brute the home he deserves!

And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
