My name is Bucket!

Bucket is from Texas. He was being raised by a homeless man who carried him around in a bucket along with his brother.  They were both brought into rescue after being surrendered.  Bucket and his brother have  received  proper veterinary care while in rescue, and now it's time to find them both homes of their very own here in MN.  Bucket is a sweet boy who has found the joy of toys.. lol.  He will carry one in his mouth with him almost  everywhere  he goes.  This sweet boy is not completely potty trained, but what puppy is?  He operates on the puppy schedule of sleep, eat, play and then poop.  Making sure  that  he has adequate outside time roughly 30-45 minutes after being fed is crucial to getting him  potty  trained, and repetition and consistency are always key.  Bucket is not necessarily crate trained, but will come to his crate when called and will go in and settle nicely to go to bed at night.  covering his crate with a blanket to shut out outside  stimuli  is extremely helpful while crate training a puppy as well.  Bucket is a sweet sweet boy that is a bit on the reserved side, he would benefit from a confident resident dog to show him the ways of the world, but he definitely doesn't require one as a stipulation of adoption.  This sweet boy would be happy with a lap that he can call his own, and an endless supply of stuffies/toys to carry around with him.  If you think that he just couldn't be more perfect for you, please fill out an adoption application today!  He can't wait to meet you!
