My personality

My story

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

Meet Bucky – Your Loyal, Loving Tripod Companion! 🐾

For Foster or Adoption!

Bucky is the biggest sweetheart with an even bigger heart. A true survivor, Bucky is a recent amputee who’s currently healing from both the loss of a leg and a tough past. But don’t let that fool you—he’s incredibly affectionate, gentle, and just wants to be your shadow.

This three-legged lovebug is calm, well-mannered, and happiest cuddling at your side or giving soft, slobbery kisses. 🐶💛 He’s a velcro dog through and through—if you're moving, he’s following.

🐕‍🦺 What Makes Bucky So Special?

* Non-reactive to other dogs his size

* NO cats or small dogs, please (high prey drive)

* Very quiet – not a barker, at all!
* Potty-trained
* Walks beautifully on leash and redirects easily with treats
* LOVES food and takes treats so gently
* Enjoys car rides and watching the world roll by
* Playful, but tires quickly – currently heartworm positive and recovering from surgery
* Destroyer of plush toys, but lover of tough chew toys
* Easily trainable – smart, eager, and a total people-pleaser

🩺 Medical Needs
Bucky is heartworm positive and a recent amputee, so he needs a calm, supportive home where he can rest, recover, and be monitored to make sure he doesn’t overdo it (he wants to keep going even when he’s tuckered out!).

🙏 FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED!

Bucky hates spending his life in a kennel environment, and needs a soft bed, gentle hands, and a calm home to heal.

All medical and basic supplies will be covered if you open your home to him as a foster while he recovers.

Bucky needs loving, forever home, and at 7 years old, this angel will reward his family with love, cuddles and never ending joy!


💛 If you can't adopt, please consider fostering. He needs a place to rest, recover and be loved.
