About Buck
Buck is in search of love with everything he does. He likes to jump into the arms of adults, steal kisses from children, and plays affectionately with other dogs.
Buck likes to be near humans most of the time, although he does go lie by himself on the couch during quiet times. He needs a bit of manners training; jumping and basic commands, and will need someone that will work on him with chewing items that are not his toys.
Buck's specialty is giving hugs and kisses, his signature snoring, and playing well with others.
Buck is a hurricane of kisses. With smaller children (toddler age), he can be a bit strong and persistent and they don't know how to control him or push him away effectively. Other than just being motivated to show his love, we have seen no signs of aggression or anything that would worry us with children.
Per Buck's foster pawrents…
I believe Buck would do well in a home with lots of activity. Being a high-energy dog, he needs lots of attention, snuggles and possibly even other dogs to tire him out!
His family will need to be dedicated to teaching him some basic manners and stay consistent with training him. Once he is trained and settled into a new home with a routine and house rules, he'll be a five-star companion. We really love Buck!

Why We Love Fostering
-
I have always loved animals and I spoil my own pets enough, so I figured "Why not try fostering?" That's when everything changed. I found that fostering is incredibly rewarding, because not only do you care and love each cat that comes into your home, but you get to send them to their furever homes and see the adopter’s faces light up when they meet them. Building the foundation of the kitties is what makes fostering such a wonderful experience. There is truly nothing better.
Why We Love Fostering

From fluffy kitten cuddles, to endless purrs and kisses, fostering allows me to live a true “crazy cat lady’s” dream! Most importantly, it gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of kittens/cats - some of which have come from very sad and difficult situations - and provide them with a safe and loving start before they go to their furever homes. While it is always challenging to say goodbye, I find comfort in knowing that there is a thorough application process to ensure the kittens/cats are adopted into the purr-fect home.
