About Bucky

Meet Bucky! This gentle 8-year-old APBT mix weighs in at 59 lbs and is looking to spend his golden years in a loving home. Bucky has a sweet demeanor coupled with a playful spirit that still shines bright. According to his previous owner, he is house trained and gets along well with children. While Bucky tolerates cats and shows some interest in other dogs, he prefers to keep his distance and enjoys doing his own thing. He’s not fond of crates and experiences separation anxiety, so he would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of companionship and patience during the adjustment period. Despite being a senior, Bucky enjoys playtime and loves attention, showcasing a loyal and spunky personality. All he needs is a family willing to give him a second chance at happiness. Thanks to a kind samaritan, Bucky's adoption fee is sponsored. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
