Buckley

Mixed Breed

5 years, Male, Medium

Buckley is a 5 year old male tan mixed breed that weighs 36 lbs. He has a cropped tail, upright ears and a stocky build so our first guess was Corgi, but his legs are not short so there is something else there.  Carolina Dog?  Kelpie?  Who knows what a DNA test will show. We just know he is a 100% handsome boy.

Buckley came to Canine collective as a puppy with his "sister" Bella (28 lbs) and they were adopted together.  They were found together, but we're not sure they are really related, have different dads, etc but it is obvious they are very attached. They have always been together since puppyhood and we want to keep it that way.  They lost their home through no fault of their own and just want to find their new people.

Buckley is a energetic, loyal and excitable boy.  He will let you know if he needs to go outside, wants food or a treat, or needs his belly rubbed.  He isn't always trusting with strangers but warms up quickly once he knows someone is okay to be in his space. Buckley gets anxious around wriggly toddlers since they typically haven’t learned boundaries yet, so we think he would do best in an adult only home or older respectful children. With his canine sister Bella of course.  He is ok with cats in the home but Bella is the only dog he needs.

Buckley and Bella have been to a number of adoption events at local petstores and did great. They stuck close to their handlers initially, but soon were greeting new people who approached respectfully.  With each new event they attended, you could see them getting more comfortable with the new sights and sounds and soon were smiling into the camera for their photos.   They enjoyed exploring the store together and did not shoplift!

Their perfect home would be a quiet one with a fenced in yard where they can relax and nice comfy couches to cuddle. If you have room in your heart and home for both Buckley and Bella, apply at www.caninecollective.org
