Heartbroken Puppy Tied To A Pole In California Waited Days Until Someone Finally Saw Him

At only six months old, still just a baby, Buckley had already endured more than most dogs ever should. His short life had been filled with struggle, living on the streets with homeless people who didn’t treat him kindly.

One day, Buckley was found tied to a pole on the cracked pavement of a busy California street. Cars zoomed past, people walked by, and yet it was as if he didn’t exist.

There was no food. No water. Just a little husky, waiting for someone to notice, someone to care.

But then, everything shifted. A rescuer spotted him. Maybe it was the way his warm brown eyes followed her, still soft and hopeful despite everything he had been through.

Maybe it was destiny. Either way, she knew she couldn’t leave him behind.

That moment changed Buckley’s life forever. Instead of being forgotten on the streets, he was brought into the loving care of Love Leo Rescue.

From the start, everyone could tell Buckley was different. He didn’t hold onto anger or fear, just this sweetness and joy no one could take away.

The shelter’s director, Sasha Abelson, shared in an interview:

“Buckley is an exceptional dog. He is well balanced and loving and didn’t let his previous experiences change his lovely personality.”

Once he settled into his foster home, Buckley truly came alive. Now he has a yard to run in, friends to play with, and humans who remind him that he’s safe.

With his signature husky spirit, he bounds around with his dog buddies, learns new tricks, and soaks up every cuddle he can get. The shelter shared:

“Buckley is a typical, happy-go-lucky husky. He loves playing with his dog friends and learning new skills. He loves going for hikes and also cuddling near his humans. He is just a perfect family dog.”

What makes him so special isn’t just his good looks or smarts, though he has both. It’s the way he embraces life, as if he’s making up for every moment he went without love.

Whether he’s out on the trails, wrestling with friends, showing off a new trick, or curling up at the end of the day, Buckley gives his whole heart.

Now, he’s waiting for the final piece of his journey: a forever family.

Buckley is ready for hikes, ready for car rides, ready for those late-night snuggles, and ready to finally have a place to belong.

What he needs most is an active home filled with adventure, ideally with another playful dog by his side, as the shelter explained:

“Buckley would love to go into a home that is active and preferably a home with another playful, balanced dog. We think a dog brother or sister would be wonderful for him.”

Buckley has been through so much already, yet somehow his spirit has only grown brighter. He’s shown nothing but love, joy, and resilience.

Now he’s waiting for that one special family to notice him the way his rescuer did, to see not just a husky, but a best friend, an adventure buddy, and a loyal companion for life.

All he really needs is a chance, and in return, he’ll give back endless love and happiness only a dog like Buckley can bring.
