About Buckeye

Buckeye came to the rescue after surviving on his own as a stray and now stands out for his sweet, friendly spirit.

Buckeye enjoys naps, playful moments, and soaks up affection. His companionship tends to run deep, and he’ll reward the right adopter with loyalty and gratitude that’s hard to match. If you’re ready for a bond where the rewards far outweigh the challenges, Buckeye is waiting in Cincinnati, OH for a family willing to offer a steady, comforting home. As a fun fact, Buckeye is a Virgo—steadfast, loyal, and always ready for cozy routines. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
