Buster is a gentle soul with a shy side and just enough puppy-like charm to make you smile. His story started with a loving family in 2021, but when circumstances changed, Buster landed back with the rescue, looking for his second chance. He’s slow to open up, so patience goes a long way. Buster really shines when he’s around other friendly dogs—having a canine pal could help him settle in. He feels safest around women and needs a quieter home, making him a better fit for families without small kids. You’ll want a secure, fenced yard; Buster is thoughtful and likes a peaceful place to roam. Recently, Buster had FHO surgery on his rear right leg (July 2025). He’s still healing, sometimes favoring that leg, but he’s determined and making progress. This little guy just needs someone willing to go at his pace and earn his trust. If you’re looking for a loyal, sensitive companion, Buster could be the one you’ve been waiting for. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
