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
-
Teddy and Lily came to me almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, Lily is suffering from kidney disease, but Teddy takes care of her and watches over her to the best of his ability. I've said this so many times: They didn't need me, I needed them. Pets Alive Niagara is hands down one of the most loving, caring, involved, dedicated charities in the Niagara Region. If you are able to be part of this family jump on our band Wagon won't you? 🐾🎙.
Why We Love Fostering
-
Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.
