Bucky - Pointer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Buck!
Big boy Buck is one of our newer arrivals to HAP from one of our partners shelters in the South! He is the happiest, goofiest, wiggliest, silly boy there is! Anytime Buck sees a human, his big ole tail is wagging back and forth and that's quickly followed by full body wiggles. Once he gets close enough, he's putting all that weight on you so he can soak up all the loving he can. When he's not getting pets, Buck has been trying to figure out this thing called fetch. So far he's not the biggest fan as he'll go chase after something but hasn't figured out the bringing it back part yet. He's been recovering from his neuter so he hasn't had any play dates with other dogs yet but he's seemed interested in other dogs so we could schedule a dog meet if you have current dogs in the home to see if he'd make a good playmate! Buck is a long and lean boy and sometimes doesn't realize his size when he pushes in for attention so kids in the home would just have to be comfortable with a big dog with barnacle tendencies (he is the cutest barnacle we've ever seen though). He does however walk really well on the leash and knows how to sit so big boy does have some manners. So if you're looking for a dog that's always going to make you laugh, Buck is the guy for you!

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pointer is a versatile and athletic dog breed known for its exceptional hunting skills and high energy levels. With a strong, sleek build and keen sense of smell, Pointers excel in bird hunting, especially in open fields. They are intelligent, eager to please, and make fantastic companions for active individuals or families who enjoy spending time outdoors. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, and their friendly nature and loyal temperament make them beloved members of the family.
