Bucky is a happy dog who loves to play and run in the yard. He enjoys being out in the yard and rough-housing with dominant female dogs. When people play with him, he is best directed by treats.  Please check out his video below!

He has a scar on his neck which shows us that at some point in his life he may have been abused. He is food assertive, so must be handled carefully when giving and taking food away.

He would do best in an adult-only home with a dominant owner to keep him in line and model alpha, pack order.  Bucky is very cautious of new people and would be best to have a home with very low traffic.

*****Special note about his video*****
Bucky is a sweet playful dog, but he has anxiety about meeting new people. We believe that the best thing for Bucky is for a potential adopter to visit him at the shelter several times before trying to do an official meet and greet for adoption. We can set you up to observe him with others he already knows. Spending time with him during walks at the shelter and giving him treats will be the best way to his heart. This will take a little extra time and effort on your part, but it could be worth it for you.

We have done this slow-meet technique with another one of our dogs who didn't make a good first impression, and it paid off for the family who adopted him! They are very grateful to have him in their family now.
