About Buck

Meet Buck! This spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler/American Bulldog mix is in Burlington, KY, ready to be your loyal and goofy companion. Buck weighs in at 115 pounds, sporting a handsome brown coat adorned with a white patch on his chest. He’s happiest when he’s with his person, whether that’s jogging alongside you for a mile or two, playing fetch in the yard, or just lounging during a long car ride. With his medium energy levels, Buck enjoys daily activities but can also relax well after an adventure. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations, Buck is house trained and has undergone extensive training, including puppy camps and private lessons. He knows commands such as sit, wait, and down, and while he stays off the furniture, he’d happily accept an invitation to snuggle on the couch. He’s been raised around children and demonstrates a gentle, patient demeanor, taking instructions from even the youngest family members seriously. While Buck may bark at unfamiliar men, he calms down once he senses a friendly approach. He needs a more experienced pet parent familiar with large breeds who can enforce structure and provide positive interactions. Buck requires a home without cats due to his strong prey drive, and while he has not lived with dogs, he has successfully boarded with them. A slow introduction might make it possible for him to coexist with a compatible dog, but he could also thrive as an only pet. Given his size and strength, a home without young children is recommended. Buck is eager for someone who seeks a devoted sidekick filled with personality and affection. He cherishes outdoor time and loves transforming everyday activities into shared adventures. Could Buck be the big-hearted companion you've been searching for? If you'd like to provide Buck with a loving forever home, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com for more details on the adoption process. Buck is open to long-distance adoptions, proving that love knows no bounds!
