Adopt Buck

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Please meet the very handsome Buck, who has travelled all the way from Romania in the hope of finding his forever home. Since arriving here a few months ago, Buck has truly blossomed! Initially a little shy with new people, he now settles quickly and happily shows off his affectionate, gentle nature. He loves attention, enjoys fuss, and is more than happy to make new friends once he feels comfortable. Buck is such a comical boy, always finding little ways to make you smile, but he is also incredibly affectionate. He has that spark of energy that brightens even the hardest of days. Buck absolutely loves his food. You’ll hear his excited bark echo around the rescue at mealtimes without fail. He also really enjoys his walks and having a good run around the big yard, where he can let out all that happy energy. Buck also has the most cuddly side to him; he loves nothing more than resting his head on your lap while he slowly dozes off to sleep. Buck has boundless, puppy-like energy and is so much fun to spend time with. He is happy, bouncy, and full of life, with an infectious enthusiasm that staff and volunteers can’t help but fall in love with. He walks beautifully on a harness and has made fantastic progress with lead confidence, now happily trotting along on a slip lead without a care in the world. Buck was briefly adopted but was sadly returned as he didn't get along with the resident dog. Buck enjoys the company of well mannered female does and does enjoy sharing his kennel with another dog, so we would consider homing him with a laid back female dog if they were the right match. He can get a little jealous of sharing attention with another dog, but in the right home with experienced adopters this could be managed. That said, Buck would be equally happy to be homed as the only dog and get all the love and attention for himself. Buck would be best suited to adopters who have experience of owning dogs from a similar background before and who are around most of the time, so they can spend lots of time with him. He would love to find an active home where he can be kept both physically and mentally stimulated and enjoy plenty of walks and adventures with his new family. He could share his home with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over, who can appreciate and understand that he will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home and his own space to settle in. Although Buck had never lived in a home before being adopted, he settled in wonderfully and was clean in the house. He wasn’t phased by the TV or radio and quickly found the sofas and beds! He can still be a little shy when first meeting men, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up. Buck also isn’t keen on sudden loud noises or sticks and brooms, so this is something his adopters will need to work on desensitising him to. He doesn’t like having his front paws touched, but he will politely let you know by gently pulling them away. Buck is a truly special boy with so much love to give. He is absolutely wasted in kennels and will make a loyal, devoted companion for a very lucky family. He arrived with no tail, but this doesn’t bother him in the slightest and only adds to his charm. Please don’t overlook this wonderful lad, as Buck is more than ready to find his forever home. Buck has received negative test results for Brucellosis, Leishmania, Giardia, Heartworm, Ehrlichia canis, Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
