My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buster! What an amazing dog who unfortunately was living a life on a chain. He's happy to be warm and safe now, but dreaming of new, wonderful forever family.
Buster loves EVERYONE! He's a big goofy boy who doesn't realize his size, but what a lovable, happy dog! With a training collar on, he walks very well on a leash. He loves treats and is ready to please. He loves to run and play and will make a wonderful companion to an active family---or someone with a secure fenced yard where he can exercise himself. Buster was left alone on a tie-out before, so we are asking that he be with a family who will let him live indoors and truly be part of the family.
Buster has been tested with dogs and cats, and is happy with both. Of course, he might chase a kitty if it runs, but he can easily learn to be polite. He would love an active playmate dog to bond with...a meet and greet is always good to ensure a win-win for all. (The key to a happy home of pets are slow introductions over the course of a few days...step by step.)
Don't miss out on this handsome, sweet boy!

Additional adoption info
Our stray animals are held 10 days to see if the owner will claim them. If no one claims the animal, the animal is put up for adoption. We also accept owner surrendered animals (for a fee) if space allows. Also...Due to Illinois state law, no animals can be adopted without being fixed first. So, if the pet you select is spayed/neutered, you can take it home right away. If not, adoption will be finalized after our next spay/neuter clinic.
