Bucky is a very calm, potty trained, 8 year old house dog, that has been nothing short of amazing to our family of 4 for many years. As we continue to grow apart with young adult children, it is no longer possible to keep him. Bucky was returned twice to the shelter before we got him, and we believe there was something in his past that made him very reactive to other dogs. He is very protective of his family, great with people and kids, doesn’t jump, just sniffs, and minds his own business. We are looking for a home with no pets and a private yard. He prefers the indoors (although likes the occasional sunbathe), loves to cuddle, is very sweet, and sometimes he likes to run around with his squeaky toy. He likes popcorn and biscotti and LOVES to ride in the car. We just want him to be able to roam free with no worry to him, other dogs, or his owner.
