Buck 05-071 [1]

I picked up Buck from the shelter today. He is a very sweet 11 or 12 year old unneutered male. He is heartworm positive, has horrible teeth and needs a good bath, but is such a love. We will have an x-ray done to see if he is a good candidate for heartworm treatment.

Buck met my very reactive, overly sensitive, uptight resident male at the shelter, to see if we could even foster Buck. My male normally does not do well with unneutered males, but this introduction went well. That is a testament to Buck’s wonderful friendly disposition!

Did another intro at home, and although my dogs barked at Buck, he just stood there and wagged his tail at them. They soon stopped, as it is apparently too much bother to pick a fight with a pacifist. Buck would be a wonderful tester dog for CGC tests, as he is so trusting and friendly of the world.

I discovered that Buck is not used to a crate, as he pawed, dug and yelped in it. Because I don’t want his heart rate to speed up with all those heartworms, I will just use a baby gate and wait on any crate training. He really doesn’t need it, he is so mellow and easygoing.
