About Buster

Meet Buster, a delightful and affectionate 1-year-old Yellow Labrador Retriever currently fostered near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Coming from an owner surrender situation, Buster is eager to find a loving forever home where he can immerse himself in family life. He’s known for his people-loving nature and thrives on companionship. Buster enjoys playing with other dogs and has recently discovered the joy of tennis balls, along with the pleasures of going for walks. Buster is already potty trained and is working on his crate training. He feels more secure when close to his people and may attempt to jump a fence if left alone in the yard. A secure setup and supervision will help him gain confidence as he learns independence. While he arrived with minimal training, he has quickly picked up commands like “sit,” “lay,” and “wait.” He’s also making progress on his leash manners, although he can pull when excited. He is good with children, though a household with slightly older kids may suit him best given his size and energy level. Buster seeks a family ready to be a companion and committed to ongoing training, ensuring he becomes well-mannered and confident. With a heart full of love and goofiness, he’s just waiting to be your devoted companion. Buster will be neutered before adoption and is up-to-date on vaccinations, on monthly preventative, dewormed, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $450. Ready to fall in love?
