Buck's Story

Meet Buck <br/><br/>Buck is a high-drive, working-breed dog who is looking for a home that truly understands what that means. He is not a “go with the flow” couch-potato — Buck is a dog who needs structure, training, and a job to feel fulfilled and successful.<br/><br/>This big guy is extremely smart and very capable. He already knows sit, down, paw, heel, and kennel up, is fully potty trained, and reliably goes to the door when he needs to go outside. He eats politely in his crate and does well with other dogs, enjoying canine companionship.<br/><br/>That said, Buck has clearly had very little structure in the past, and because of that, he will require an experienced owner with strong working-breed knowledge. He is the type of dog who will push boundaries if given the chance — not out of bad intent, but because his brain is always “on.” Buck will thrive with someone who enjoys training, consistency, and mental enrichment such as obedience work, advanced training, hiking, or another structured outlet.<br/><br/>Buck is good with kids, but due to his size, strength, and high energy level, we are recommending a home with older children. He has not been tested with cats, so we are unsure how he would do in a home with feline companions.<br/><br/>With the right leadership, routine, and an outlet for both his mind and body, Buck has the potential to be an incredible partner. He is not a first-time dog and will require ongoing work — but for the right person, he will be worth every bit of effort.<br/><br/>-Working-breed, high-energy dog<br/>-Needs experienced, structured home<br/>-Dog-friendly<br/>-Potty trained & knows basic commands<br/>-Thrives with training and a “job”<br/>-Older kids recommended<br/>-Cats unknown (likely a no)<br/>-Fully vetted <br/><br/>Buck isn’t looking for just any home — he’s looking for the right one.<br/><br/>NO APARTMENTS FOR BUCK!!!!<br/><br/>Apply for Buck : www.freedomfirstrescue.com/buck<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption radius is 100 miles of Bethlehem, PA

Freedom First Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Requirements We want to ensure that our dogs are ending up in the best homes possible and we ask that you fulfill these requirements in order to adopt one of our dogs: Our age requirement is 23 year old and we do require a copy of your license to verify. If you do not own your home, we will require land lord approval. Everyone in the home needs to be supportive and accepting of the adoption (we run a criminal background checks for all adults over 18 that are living in the household). All people living in the home need to be able to do a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption – this includes your current dog(s). This step happens AFTER your application and home visit are approved! Resident dogs must be surgically altered (spayed/neutered), up to date on core vaccinations (Rabies and Distemper), heartworm tested on a consistent basis AND/OR on monthly heartworm prevention. IF YOUR DOG IS NOT SPAYED/NEUTERED, DO NOT FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR ONE OF OUR DOGS UNLESS you can provide documentation from a licensed veterinarian stating why this is has not be done. **PLEASE NOTE: Submitting an application does NOT guarantee an adoption. There is a 3 part process. This starts with an application review. If your application is approved, you will move on to step two which is a home check. At that point if you are approved the last and final step will be a meet and greet with the dog in question for adoption. We DO NOT do female to female dog adoptions with our BULLY BREEDS!! Male to male or male to female adoptions with our bully breed dogs are acceptable!
