🌟 Allow me to introduce Bucky, the pint-sized troublemaker and certified heart-thief! At just 9 months old and a petite 8.2 pounds, he’s bursting with quirky puppy antics—and yet, somehow, he’s an absolute delight! While his paperwork says he’s a Shih-tzu/Maltese mix, his wiry hair and mischievous spirit might suggest there’s a sprinkle of terrier spice in there too. 😄 Bucky hasn’t had the most “normal” upbringing before he found refuge, so he’s a bit shy and seeking a patient, loving adopter who can help him build trust. Now, here’s the kicker: he’s not housebroken yet! He comes with zero household etiquette, meaning he’s bound to be the ultimate sock thief, table surfer, and dishwasher explorer—doing it all while looking irresistibly innocent. Seriously, it’s like living with a muppet who’s on a quest for delightful mischief! 😂 Despite his occasional shyness, Bucky is 100% gentle and sweet—a sensitive soul navigating this big, exciting world. An adult-only home or one filled with older kiddos would be perfect for him to learn at his own pace and gain confidence. He gets along fabulously with other small dogs (a playful buddy his age would be the cherry on top!) and is totally cool with resident cats. Toys? Oh, they’re his jam! He enjoys parading them like trophies around the house. Just imagine the cuteness! 🐕🎉 If you’re ready to dive into a little chaos, a lot of laughter, and the incredible journey of watching a shy pup bloom, then Bucky is waiting to steal your heart. 💖 Apply to adopt him through the Buddy App, and give this lovely creature a chance to fill your life with joy!
