Buckley

Mixed Breed

5 years, Male, Medium

Buckley is a 4-5 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 keep each other company but still enjoy playtime and loving with their humans.

Buckley is a vocal, energetic, loyal and excitable boy. He will always let you know if he needs to go outside, wants food or a treat, or needs his belly rubbed.  His exercise needs are met with a fenced in yard and Bella so no need for long walks 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 went to an adoption event at a local petstore and did great!  This was the first outing since coming to the kennel and they were happy to be in a quieter environment.  We made sure to tell visitors to approach quietly and the dogs were fine with new people.  We took them for a walk together around the store and they were ok on the leash and liked the exercise.  We were so proud of them!

Buckley and Bella are used to being in a home and are housetrained.  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
