About Buck

Start your journey together! Apply now. Buck is a wonderful, extra-large mixed breed who came into rescue after being found near a highway alongside another dog. With a DNA profile that includes American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and Labrador Retriever, Buck has matured into an impressive, sturdy adult. He is incredibly friendly and gentle with people and absolutely adores attention. Buck has a playful side, especially when it comes to his favorite toys and enjoys car rides. He is motivated by love and play, making training both rewarding and fun. Buck gets along best with female dogs but can be reactive around male dogs with dominant personalities, so he would thrive in a home where he is either the only dog or with a compatible female dog. While he loves being indoors, he is a known escape artist, so a secure yard is essential. Buck is currently learning basic commands and needs a confident, firm human leader to guide him. He is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and house trained. Buck is eager to find a loving home that can give him the structure and companionship he craves.
