Oh deer, watch out! This guy will surely capture your heart! This is Buck, a three-year-old Golden Retriever/Shepherd blend. Buck was picked up as a stray, and the staff at Animal Care Services tried to find him a rescue without much luck. On the day he was supposed to be euthanized, a team of fosters finally stepped up to save him. We say “team” because his primary foster was leaving on vacation two days after saving him! That meant Buck spent time in various foster homes with dogs of all shapes and sizes. He did great with each pack, and eventually found a long-term foster with SNIPSA. Buck currently lives with a mix of two teenage boys and a small, older Terrier. He loves to lay out in the sun, hang out and watch football with everyone, and just be a part of the group. He seems to be very adaptable and would do great in most environments, given the proper exercise.

In addition to his social skills, Buck carries confidence with him everywhere. That means he is a great walker, doesn’t mind fireworks, and can handle some rough n’ tumble playtime. He is house-trained and goes to his kennel on command. This dog has it all: good looks and even better manners! Buck would make a wonderful addition to just about any family. So, don’t get stuck in the headlights! Apply to meet Buck today!
