About Buster

Meet Buster, a sweet five-year-old mutt mix weighing around 25 pounds and looking for a loving home through Chi Town Rescue. He came to us from a hoarding situation in Concho, AZ, and was one of the more reserved dogs at first. But with some time and patience, Buster has blossomed; he’s now eager for human attention, often nudging for pets and even offering his paw for a gentle hold. While he can be shy at first, Buster warms up beautifully when given a slow introduction. He thrives in the company of other dogs, so a home with a canine companion or two would be ideal for helping him adjust. Buster enjoys playtime, especially with squeaky toys, and is always up for some zoomies! He’s curious and will happily shadow you once trust is established, particularly if food is involved. Buster would do best in a secure home environment without small children. An enclosed yard is necessary for his potty training, as he is not yet leash-trained. This little guy is ready for a forever home where he can feel safe and loved. If you think you might be a good match for Buster, send us a message! Click apply to start the adoption process.
