Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi I'm Buck - an 8 year old distinguished gentleman with a loving sweet disposition ready to cuddle up at your feet forever. I'm a handsome yellow guy with a beautiful soft coat . I’m pretty familiar with the kind folks here at DLRR because I was an available dog just 6 months ago. My owner had passed away and so I came to DLRR and was adopted by a family who nicknamed me "snacky". (I think maybe they gave me too many snacks?!? because right now I weigh about 95 lbs!!) I lived with a family with kids and cats but they are all moving to Hawaii for a new job! They thought it would be too much to take me with them , have me quarantined, and live on the beach. It's ok, I’m not into surfing much anyways. Countertops just don't interest me. I'd rather follow my people around and lay at your feet. My foster mom says that even though I've lived with other dogs and cats just fine, that she'd love to see me be an only dog spoiled and treated like royalty! After all, I lost my owner much too soon, missed out on some real Aloha, so do you think you could you be the one who shows me I'm worth your love forever and ever? I'm the only dog in my foster home right now along with a bunch of kids and a toddler. I'm very well behaved . I might bark if someone knocks at the door, but I'm quick to greet you and wag my tail. I don't touch or chew any of the toddler's toys here and I don't even bother the food he throws from his highchair. My foster mom has me on a diet . I eat Blue Buffalo food because when I was younger I think I had some allergies. I get excited for car rides and I love to play ball and swim with the kids here, so don't let my age fool you. I can be as playful as a younger dog but will gladly nap all day too if you let me. If you need to leave me for a bit, I am totally trustworthy and wait for you in the house just fine.. My very favorite thing to do is to cuddle at my people's feet under the computer desk while they work or study. Would you be my forever family who will love me well , take me on walks, let me swim, and cuddle with you? I promise I will lay at your feet forever!
