Volusia County – The Southeast Volusia Humane Society is introducing Buck, an 8‑year‑old mixed‑breed dog who still has the enthusiasm of a much younger pup. Buck weighs over 44 pounds, sports a black‑brown coat, and is neutered, making him a healthy, well‑behaved companion for the right family.

Why Buck stands out

Buck’s personality shines through his love of play and his eagerness to learn tricks. He is highly treat‑motivated, which makes training sessions both fun and effective. His energy level is surprisingly high for a senior dog, meaning he can keep up with active households while still offering the calm demeanor that comes with age.

Ideal home environment

The shelter recommends Buck for families that have older children, as his size and spirited nature are best matched with kids who understand how to interact respectfully with a larger dog. He also prefers to be the only dog in the home, allowing him to receive undivided attention and avoid potential conflicts with other pets.

Adoption details

Prospective adopters can learn more about Buck by visiting the Southeast Volusia Humane Society’s adoption page. The adoption fee is $50, which helps cover his veterinary care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgery. The shelter encourages interested families to schedule a meet‑and‑greet to ensure a good fit.

Supporting local animal welfare

Adopting a senior dog like Buck not only gives a loving home to a deserving animal but also frees up space for the shelter to rescue additional pets in need. The Southeast Volusia Humane Society relies on community support, donations, and volunteers to continue its mission of finding homes for countless animals across the region.

For more information, visit the shelter’s website or call their adoption hotline. Giving Buck a forever home means adding a loyal, energetic companion to your family while supporting a vital local nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare.
