Buck's Story

Buck is a friendly, snuggly boy who loves nothing more than curling up beside you on the couch after a good walk. He’s potty trained, crate trained and walks nicely on leash most of the time. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and especially enjoys meeting smaller furry friends — they seem to bring out his gentle, playful side.<br/><br/>Around the house, Buck can sometimes bark to get your attention or pull a bit on leash when excited, but he’s eager to please and easy to redirect. He’s also a bit of a shadow — if having a loyal companion follow you from room to room sounds like a dream, Buck might be your guy! When the silly mood strikes, Buck is pure joy — flopping his body around in play, gently “cobbing” you, and inviting you to chase him. His goofy side always brings smiles and laughter.<br/><br/>Buck has a medium energy level and would thrive in many types of homes. He enjoys hikes and outdoor adventures just as much as he loves being a cozy couch potato. While he hasn’t been tested with young kids, he’d likely do best with older children or teens who can respect his space. A calmer home with fewer new visitors would help him feel most secure — especially if there’s already another friendly dog or two to show him the ropes.<br/><br/>Buck’s biggest challenge is his nervousness around new people. When meeting someone new, he may be shy or have a nervous accident, but it doesn't last long. You can see the curiosity in his eyes — he wants to trust — he just needs a little patience and reassurance. Once he feels safe, his affectionate and goofy personality shines through.<br/><br/>From cowering in a corner at the shelter to curling up beside his foster every night, Buck has blossomed into a loving, joyful companion. Whoever adopts this sweet, silly boy will be gaining a loyal best friend and endless smiles.<br/><br/>Thank you for considering an OTAT-WTX rescue! All pets are living in foster homes, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, or for more information, please visit our website: https://otatwtx.org/how-to-adopt
