Age: 4 (there is no more adorable age)
Breed: Does it matter?
Body Type: 16 pounds – I can fit in a tote or a backpack, if it’s really, really big!
Status: Ready for some outside fun! (Thanks, Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, for all of the great care)!

About Me
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! My name is Buckey and I really, really, REALLY want to play with you! I don’t understand a lot of English – none, to be honest – but I keep hearing “cute” and “cuddly” when people look at me. Maybe it’s my eyes? And there’s nothing that I don’t love to sniff! So many smells, so little time. And balls…don’t get me started. I can chase them all day, or night, or really anytime. Oh, and hikes! Let’s go! So many things to smell. If you’re looking for a buddy, I’m your little guy!

Ideal Match
Did I mention I’m the perfect age? Young enough for doggie games and loving the great outdoors, but none of that baby puppy stuff. Long hikes? Check. Neighborhood walks? Check. Just let me sniff anything and everything. As long as I am with my person, I am a happy pup! So if you are looking for a really fun little dog who is going to make a great companion, I’m your guy!]

Fun Fact:
Yep, these are my real ears. One goes up and one goes down. Cut the “awwwwww.”

I will be spayed or neutered before you take me home.
