My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Brace yourself...Buckwheat is coming in for a giant bear hug! This baby water buffalo is looking for a home that not only appreciates his size, but also his infectious zest for life. Buck is 2 years old and about 135 pounds of love and fur. We're told he's a lab/Rottweiler mix, but there are likely some other breeds in there.

Buck may not realize his own size, but his overzealous leaps are just his way of saying, "Hi! I love you! Play with me!" His huge wrinkly head isn't just for show; it's packed with dreams of endless romping, belly rubs and his favorite squeaky red ball. This handsome dude is looking for a home that will keep his body and mind active, and one that is committed to training him to be the best Buck he can be. That will include teaching him that not everyone wants to be tackled by a linebacker on four legs or wants to catch him for an impromptu leaning trustfall. Due to his size and strength, small kids wouldn't be a good fit. He previously lived in a home with cats, but liked to chase them. We're told he likes dogs, but we'll require a meet and greet with any in the home.

Buckwheat will be neutered soon, so he's not quite ready to go home, but he'd love to meet you in the meantime. Apply to adopt your new best friend at www.secondchanceas.org/adopt or at the sanctuary any time we're open. Call 570-376-3646 or email secondchanceas@yahoo.com with any questions.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Fill out an application at the sanctuary or www.secondchanceas.org/adopt (Inquiries on online listings don't constitute an application)

2.

Interview

We will call your veterinarian and personal references. We'll also call you if we have questions or need more information.

3.

Approve Application

We will approve or deny the application. You may be approved to adopt, but not necessarily the same animal you originally applied for.

4.

Meet the Pet

This may be done before applying. You'll be asked to sign an adoption contract and to make a certain donation amount, rather than a set fee.

Additional adoption info

We are passionate about pairing animals in need with loving families who would best suit their individual needs. NOTE: You do not have to apply for a specific animal on your application. You can submit it as a "pre-application" for a certain size, age or breed of animal, and if approved, we can contact you if a possible match arrives at the shelter.
