Meet Buster, the dashing 5-year-old Shepherd mix ready to steal your heart! ❤️ This charming lad arrived at the rescue after his family had to move and couldn't take him along. With his shiny black-and-brown coat, a delightful little white patch on his chest, and those adorable extra-large floppy ears, he is indeed a sight to behold! And let’s not forget those soulful dark brown eyes that can melt even the coldest of hearts! Now, Buster isn’t just good looks; he’s got a heart of gold! He’s been known to do well with both children and other animals – how perfect is that? 🐾 Having been kept indoors, our handsome boy is already housetrained, making him an absolute gem for families! When Buster first arrived on August 4th, it was a little overwhelming for him. But sweet HSOV Kennel Tech Emily spent some quality time with him, and Buster quickly realized he was surrounded by friends who adored him! A few belly rubs later, and he was feeling much more relaxed, ready to be the star of his own show. 🌟 Weighing in at about 50 lbs, this gentle giant is estimated to be a lovely mix of playful and affectionate. Buster does have a few quirks: he’s got a bit of a dominant personality with other dogs and *may nip* in certain situations (though we know he just needs proper guidance!). Plus, he’s not a fan of thunder and lightning. Time to get cozy during stormy nights, right? ⛈️ Buster has been in a loving foster home, but like a true champion, he’s once again back in the market for a forever family. He knows some basic commands and will gladly wow you with his ability to 'sit' and 'shake' on command! 🎉 His journey has been a bit of a rollercoaster, yet Buster remains hopeful and full of love to give. After being neutered on September 24, 2025, he’s ready for a fresh start with the right family who will not only appreciate his quirks but also ensure he feels safe and loved in their home. ❤️ Adopters, take note: Buster is looking for someone who can offer a nurturing environment. If you want to spread the love to this beautiful boy, be sure to apply *through the Buddy App*! He’s waiting for that special someone to come along and make his dreams come true! 🥰
