Description

Buck is a neutered two year old male English Pointer. He is heartworm negative, free of G. I. parasites, micro chipped and U.T.D. on his shots. Buck was surrendered to Citrus County Animal Services (Florida) sometime in late 2004. He was rescued by a private "no kill" shelter named "Room for One More" in late December 2004 who contacted P.R.O. We received Buck as a P.R.O. foster in early February 2005. When Buck came to us he was extremely shy and underweight. It seemed pretty clear that Buck was rough handled and had experienced a hard life. He was hand shy and appeared fearful of most physical contact. Well, we are happy to report that has changed. Buck still startles easily but he has become a snuggle bunny. He is a sweet, well mannered gentleman who has quickly adapted to living in a home. Buck is now housebroken. He is respectful of our senior female Weimaraner and tolerant of our exuberant two year old female English Pointer. Buck has not shown any hint of aggressive behavior. He is shy with men and small children. He is friendly with guest dogs. We have not had the opportunity to observe Buck with cats.
