Life on the streets can be ruff! ๐Ÿ•

Someone loved Bucky once, long enough to put a collar on him. Unfortunately, that collar became too tight and as Bucky grew, the collar didn't. By the time he reached our door as a stray, the collar had scarred his neck.
๐Ÿถ

But that's okay- chicks dig scars, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰ And Bucky doesn't let it bother him. He takes treats politely and is interested in squeaky toys.

Who will step up and give this prince a lovely thick collar and a new beginning?

Bucky is available to approved adopters for a $90 adoption fee at 1491 Business Park Ct in Gastonia. This covers his neuter and all medical care associated with his adoption including vaccinations. We estimate he is about 1 year old.
