About Buck

Buck is available for adoption, he is currently being fostered in Plant City, FL (Hillsborough County). Buck is an Australian Cattle dog mix of about 5-7 years of age, weighing approximately 35-40lbs. Buck is the perfect mix of well-trained, mature dog who has plenty of pep for a vigorous game of fetch, but also enjoys a good nap at your side. Buck is blind in one eye and was most likely born that way per the vet, but you wouldn't know he has a vision impairment. He can catch tossed treats, plays fetch like a champ, and even chases squirrels he spots from 20 feet away. His flying leaps to catch a ball are spectacular! Buck is crate trained and very well mannered on a leash. He will eat in his crate and eagerly runs to his crate and dances while he waits for his food or treats. He settles down quickly when he is put in his crate and sleeps quietly throughout the night. Buck really loves his crate and crating him will be key to his success in adjusting to his new home. Buck is eager to please and responds well to verbal correction as well as being easily redirected with treats, toys, or belly rubs. Buck would be a good companion for an older person as he is well-trained, requires only a moderate amount of exercise, and is content to nap the afternoon away in his crate or cuddle with his person. He would also do well with someone who works full-time, but wants a dog that is still playful and active in the evenings and weekends. He does well being crated during the day and is happy with a game of fetch and some time to play and explore outside in the evenings after his foster mom comes home from work. Buck is dog friendly, but he is a typical assertive cattle dog so he can be a bit pushy with other dogs, especially when first introduced. An adopter with another dog is highly encouraged to make use of a crate and supervise interactions between the dogs to prevent any issues that can arise from too much excitement while they get to know one another. Buck is an all around wonderful companion dog with a lot of love to give and will be completely devoted to his person. Buck is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, preventatives and heartworm negative.
