About Buster

Buster is a lively puppy from a large litter of ten, all surrendered to PUP for a chance at better lives. His mom, a scruffy terrier, did a remarkable job caring for the pups despite their challenging circumstances. They now hope to find their forever homes. Buster boasts a unique DNA mix, including herding breeds like Australian Cattle Dogs and Border Collies, alongside Staffordshire Terriers and Golden Retrievers, giving him a fun combination of traits. While he's expected to grow into a mid-sized dog, his future size can't be predicted—adopters should be prepared for any surprises. Socializing is crucial for Buster. He'll need opportunities to explore new experiences and meet various humans and dogs to build strong social skills. Activities such as puppy play dates and obedience classes will be important. He’s already been vet checked, vaccinated, and dewormed, though he’ll need two more vaccinations and a rabies shot at the adopter’s cost. His required spay/neuter by six months is included in the adoption fee. If you’re at least 21 and your household is on board, call 651-645-4370 to learn more. Keep in mind, potential adopters will need to provide references if you already have pets. You can meet Buster now, but he won’t go to his new home until June 22. Ready to meet this puppy?
