Backstory: Buster came from a kill shelter 3 years ago. Foster has been working with him and he’s made some big strides. He gets stressed and over stimulated easily, he would be best in a quiet home. He loves to cuddle under a blanket, really enjoys being warm and loved on.
Foster comments:
Buster is a lovable cuddlebug who is happy to nap quietly beside you while you work, or cuddle up for quality time over a movie or book.
Buster is very calm, and doesn't bark in the house. He enjoys training and mental stimulation, has already learned: sit, rollover, army crawl, and working on shake.
He enjoys all forms of adventures, great in the car and happy to tag along for car rides. Walks are definitely his love language, and he is good on the leash. He will love running around with you, and playing/hopping through the snow, especially soft snow. Buster will do best with a patient owner in a quiet home that is willing to help boost his confidence and show him that the world is not a scary place. If you're looking for a playful dog full of love to give who has already made so many strides, Buster is a gem of a dog that will make you smile daily.
