Bucky | 2-Year-Old Shepherd Mix | Your cuddly, playful “little meatball”
Bucky is a 2-year-old, 35 lb shepherd mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. This brown-and-black cutie is the total package—equal parts playful energy and snuggly companion. He’s very well house trained and will politely sit by the door to let you know when he needs to go outside. He also does wonderfully when left home alone (even uncrated!) for 6–8 hours—no accidents, no anxiety, just naps and chew time with his favorite bones.
On walks, Bucky is enthusiastic and can pull a bit, and he does have some leash reactivity toward other dogs. With continued exposure, structure, and training, he’s already showing that he can improve. He’s smart, eager to learn, and already knows commands like sit, stay, come, off, and no. He responds well to both food and affection, making him a great candidate for continued training.
Bucky is friendly with people of all ages and does great with kids, making him a wonderful family dog. He has had positive interactions with small and similarly sized dogs, though he hasn’t been around larger dogs much yet. He is not a good fit for a home with cats.
This sweet boy has a medium-to-high energy level—he enjoys daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation, but is just as happy to curl up next to you for cuddles afterward. He loves chewing on bones, going for walks, and being brushed (bath time, not so much!). Some of his adorable quirks include dancing, resting his head on you, offering his paw for attention, showing his belly for rubs, and even doing a little “army crawl.”
Bucky thrives with structure and boundaries and is already doing well with guidance in his foster home. He can get a little excited and may jump on people, but he’s responsive to correction and continues to improve.
His ideal home would be one where he gets a good balance of activity, love, and continued guidance—whether that’s with a family, a couple, or a single adopter. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling and snuggled, Bucky might just be your guy.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
