Buckley

My story

*I'm located in Georgia but can be transported* Name: Buckley Breed: Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Mix Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated 4 years old/58lbs Vetting: Up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives. House trained: Yes Crate trained: Unfortunately Buckley does not do well in a crate, but he is trustworthy to be left alone unmonitored. Dogs: Buckley does well with non-dominant dogs. He has been around females and was fine. Cats: Unknown, but can be tested upon request. Children: Buckley is great with people of all ages. Energy level: Buckley is low-medium energy. He is very happy to lounge around the house and LOVES a couch or a bed. He also loves walks and I think he would be happy to do more walking than he currently is, but it's not necessary as he is happy playing with his humans in the house too. History/Before FAR: Little is known of Buckley's history. Buckley was found as a stray in late 2022 and was taken to the county shelter at Macon-Bibb. Buckley had sustained fairly serious injuries to his back leg and hip prior to Bibb ACS finding him. Buckley was rescued by FAR in March of 2023. Training Status/Commands: Buckley knows basic commands (sit, stay). He is very quick to learn and eager to please. Things I like: Buckley loves walks, belly rubs, beds, treats of all kinds, and human companionship. Things that make my humans happy: Buckley is very funny, playful, and is a snuggle bug. He has no qualms with looking you deep in the eyes when getting belly rubs and pets, and you can just feel his happiness. When he really wants to play, he hangs his mouth waaaaay open, dips his head, sways back and forth, and staring you right in the eyes blinking. He is just trying anything to tempt you into playing with him, which works every time as it is so darn cute! Ideal family/home: Buckley loves people, and while he can be left alone he greatly prefers the company of humans. Buckley also loves other dogs and wants to play with them. He pairs best with more submissive dog companions. And of course, like most dogs, Buckley would love a large fenced yard. Extras/Special Notes: Buckley walks with a "limp" due to his prior hip/leg injury not being treated when it occurred and healing incorrectly. Due to the incorrect healing of the leg when the injury occurred, his back leg is about 2 inches shorter than his other legs, creating what looks like a limp when he walks. Due to the failure of his hip to heal correctly, he also sits in an odd position. If he does a LOT of exercise, he can be a bit sore for a day. But for the most part, other than a funny walk and a strange "sitting" position, Buckley's old injuries have not hindered him as Buckley can run and jump like a deer.
