About Buckey

Buckey is a lively Catahoula Leopard mix with striking black facial markings that make him stand out. This cheerful puppy thrives on playtime and affection, especially loving his brother, Cosmo, who shares the shelter with him. Buckey is still mastering basic commands and will need guidance to navigate his new environment, so patience is essential as he grows and learns. He gets along well with cats, which bodes well for families with those furry friends. Buckey has plenty of puppy energy and will need an active home where he can play and explore. Though he can be barky around other dogs, he may do fine with a compatible canine companion — a meet-and-greet would be ideal to check compatibility. Once he tires out, he shows his sweet side and is ready for cuddles and companionship. Ready to welcome a charming pup into your home?
