About Buck

Buck is a 98-pound gentle giant who was found wandering near a highway, likely searching for a place to call home. He may be big, but his temperament is soft and friendly around people. Buck prefers to spend his days indoors, lounging, gathering toys, and soaking up every bit of affection that comes his way. He is a loyal companion who rides comfortably in the car and is content to be wherever his people are. Buck is smart and learns fast, but he does best with a confident and consistent human leader. He lives for attention and does well with female dogs, but living with other males doesn't suit him. Buck needs a securely fenced yard—he has a knack for slipping out if given the chance—so his future family should be prepared for that. DNA testing has revealed an interesting mix: American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and Labrador Retriever. Buck is microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a stable, loving home that will give him the leadership and security he needs. Your new best friend is just one click away.
