My personality

My story

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

Meet Bucky! He’s a one-year-old, 81-pound Great Pyrenees/Poodle mix with a gentle soul and a resilient spirit. Bucky was found abandoned in a junkyard, unable to care for himself. He was born with deformed front legs. One is only half the size it should be and the other is missing altogether. Despite everything he’s been through, Bucky is sweet, loving, and incredibly strong.

Bucky is fully potty trained and crate trained. He would thrive in a house with a yard and minimal stairs. Bucky loves dogs of all sizes and is an extremely gentle playmate to even his tiniest friends. He has also recently met a cat for the first time and did fantastic! He is comfortable and confident with his mobility and is seeking a home where he can be loved for who he is! We have tried various mobility aids, but it is clear Bucky prefers to get around on his own. We haven’t been able to find Bucky the right forever home in Los Angeles, so we’re expanding the search for his family nationwide! To help set Bucky up in his forever home, Impact Dog Crates will be donating a crate and crate mat and JustFoodForDogs will be donating SIX MONTHS OF FOOD!

Bucky doesn’t realize he’s any different from other dogs. His determination is unmatched, and his confidence has flourished since he arrived in our care. We welcomed him with open arms, and he’s always eager to return the love with big hugs. However, continuous change has caused Bucky to become uncertain of his place, and he has lost some confidence. Bucky is now back at training for a two-week program, and our goal is to be able to send him to his forever home once his program ends. After years of neglect, this sweet boy is so deserving of an adopter who can give him the soft place to land he’s been waiting for.

More about this shelter

Wags and Walks is a community of dog lovers working to promote shelter dogs as the best dogs in the world through advocacy of our unique family-friendly foster and adoption programs.

Wags and Walks is focused on advocating for wrongfully stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs, and mamas + puppies that are often overlooked and at-risk due to overcrowding. We do not select dogs based on their size, age, or breed. We select our dogs on a case-by-case basis, factoring in our ability to help and their likelihood of thriving when placed in the right home.

We know that, like amazing dogs, loving families come in all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to find every pup an adopter whose home, family, and lifestyle are a perfect fit for a lifetime of love and happiness.
