Well hello Buck!

Meet Buck

This cute little guy is in the Everett Animal Shelter in Everett, WA. Not really the place you want to end up, especially if you have 4 legs and a tail; about 22 percent of dogs and 40% of cats that come into the Everett shelter are euthanized. 


The Everett Animal Shelter holds strays for 72 hours. Once that time has passed, the animal may become available for adoption, be transferred to another agency or be euthanized.


72 hours is not very long, this is the reason you MUST have your dog or cat microchipped and have a collar with ID tags and a city license. Imagine finding out your pet was euthanized due to space in the shelter and you could have prevented it with a few simple steps. 


It scares me to think about Gus ever going missing, but I do have my bases covered - so to speak - he is microchipped, has multiple tags and a city of Vancouver license. 

I'm Gorgeous!

More about Buck


Buck is an 18 month old German Wirehaired Pointer looking for his forever home! Previous owner said that he is very smart. In a short time, they trained him to stay out of the kitchen and shake. He is extremely active. He is an escape artist though. He manages to dig and climb and work at latches to get out of his kennel. A safe and effective kennel or room while the family is away, is a must. Buck is an active, happy-go-lucky guy who will need daily vigorous exercise. Pointers are working dogs who need at least an hour of hard exercise daily, or they can become bored, vocal, and destructive. Playful and fun loving, Buck would make a great companion for an active family. Adopters should be prepared for a dog who needs to be kept busy, and would make a great dog for 4H, obedience, rally, or agility, and would also make a good biking, running, or hiking companion. Buck is a people oriented dog who needs a home where he will be made part of the family. Adopters should have previous dog experience. 


I think a lot of the time with "escape artists" the dogs have been cooped up and wouldn't be trying to escape if they had been properly tired out! Gus would drive us crazy if we didn't exercise him everyday, but as long as he's been out for his daily off leash exercise he's great. Way to often these poor guys are given up on too easily or bought/adopted without the adopter's doing their research. Just because this scruffy face aesthetically pleases you does NOT mean it is the right breed for your life style! 

High energy pointer boys happen to be my favorite and I can see this scruffy face fitting in with us perfectly! This boy will not be euthanized on my watch! Shhhh don't tell Josh I already emailed the shelter for more info.... :)
