Bucky

From a scared boy in the shelter to a dog who is learning to trust the world around him, Bucky has made incredible progress during his time with Rescue Row.<br/><br/>Bucky is a sweetheart who truly wants to please his people. When he first arrived, he followed his foster mom everywhere and struggled when she was out of sight. Now, he is learning to relax and settle independently. He has also made great improvements with crate time when his foster family leaves the house.<br/><br/>His foster family believes Bucky may not have been properly socialized before joining Rescue Row. Meeting new people can still be scary for him, especially when visitors enter the home or try to pet him. Recently, our trainers spent time observing Bucky and provided his foster family with helpful tools to build his confidence when guests visit. We are happy to report that Bucky has been doing well with the foster family's out-of-town guests! He also has training sessions and will continue working on his leash manners. At over 60 pounds, Bucky is a strong boy, so learning to walk politely on leash is an important skill.<br/><br/>One of Bucky's biggest accomplishments happened. Since joining his foster family, he had never climbed onto the couch to relax with them. He would ask for pets and affection but preferred to keep his distance. His foster family knew that with time and patience, he would eventually feel comfortable enough to snuggle. Their patience paid off when Bucky surprised his foster mom by hopping onto the couch and staying for a cuddle session. It was a special moment that showed just how far he has come.<br/><br/>Bucky is looking for a family that will continue to be patient as he builds trust and confidence. He will do best with another playful dog who can help show him the ropes and encourage him to be brave. In return, his future family will gain a loyal, loving companion who is worth every bit of the journey. He needs someone home most of the time and no apartments. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet dog and are willing to give him the time he needs to blossom, Bucky may be the perfect match for you<br/><br/>Bucky is a 10-month-old German Shepherd/Poodle/Golden Retriever mix and currently weighs about 60 lbs.

We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.
