✨ Let’s talk about Buck Strickland! This joyful bundle of energy is a one-year-old male mix of Australian Cattle Dog and American Staffordshire Terrier, weighing in at a solid 55 lbs. Buck has traveled quite the journey; once found in a box, he was rescued from a shelter in Texas and has blossomed under the loving care of his foster family in Ohio. 🌟 Imagine a pup who, just a year ago, was terrified and unsure of the world. But with patience, love, and the support of his furry foster siblings, Buck has transformed into a playful adventurer who’s ready to leap into his forever home! 🐕✨ He thrives in a home with another dog to match his playful spirit and boost his confidence. The only catch? No cats, please! Buck’s got a high prey drive and is more interested in playing chase with other dogs than any feline friends. 😼🚫 Buck’s high to medium energy level means he needs a fenced yard (at least 5 ft) to run around and safely explore his surroundings. He's also crate trained and potty trained! 🎉 After a day of playing tug-of-war, chasing frisbees, and collecting all the toys, Buck loves nothing more than curling up on the cozy couch or snuggling in bed beside someone. 🛏️❤️ And if you’re in the kitchen? Buck is your ready-made sous chef! He’s always on the lookout for dropped treats (carrots and cheese are his favorites) to help build that trust and bond. 🥕🧀 This sweet boy is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, so he’s all set to find his forever home—someone who understands that building trust takes time. If you’re willing to be patient and allow Buck to flourish, he promises to be the bouncy, loyal companion you’ve been searching for.
