Bucky's Story

Meet Bucky! He is a very handsome 4-year-old boy looking for a home where he can relax and just be himself. He has been deeply loved since puppyhood, but as his family has grown and changed, it’s become clear that Bucky would be much happier in a quieter home without small children. Like many dogs, Bucky struggles with the unpredictability and fast movements of toddlers so his family made the difficult decision to surrender him to SBR. Bucky is wonderful with other dogs and even cats. He currently lives with both and gets along great with them. He especially enjoys having a large, fenced yard where he can explore and relax. He also walks fine on leash, although he can be a bit enthusiastic and pull at times. He can be cautious around strangers at first simply because he hasn’t had a lot of exposure to new people, so he may bark initially but once he has time to settle in and feel comfortable, he does just fine. And speaking of getting comfortable… Bucky is definitely settling into foster life! Recently, his foster mom turned her back for just a moment and Bucky quietly helped himself to an egg sandwich off the counter without making a single sound. As the saying goes: “Silence is golden… but silence with a basset hound is suspicious!” In the right environment, this sweet, funny boy has so much love and companionship to offer.
