A car hit this sweet boy and left him to die on the side of the road in Lockhart, TX. However, he is as tough as he is sweet, and he survived by dragging his injured body around for quite some time until police officers found him and took him to the local shelter. On top of the injuries: he was emaciated, dripping with fleas and ticks, and had a tie out embedded in his neck. Unfortunately, that shelter did not have a medical team to address his injuries, so they felt euthanasia was the only way they could help him. Rescue Friends Ranch was there volunteering, stepped in as they were preparing the euth shot, and got him to the emergency vet in Austin. He has since undergone surgery to have his front, right leg removed, making him now the cutest tripod there ever was! Although he may look a little different now on the outside, you would never know what a horrible past he has had from his derpy, happy, loving inside!
He LOVES people, wants all the cuddles and rubs, enjoys going on walks and playing, and will do anything for a yummy treat. He has met dozen and dozens of dogs and has gotten along well with all of them, but hasn't met any cats yet. His missing leg doesn't slow him down either, or require any special assistance. He still has lots of energy and loves going for walks, and Im sure he would make a great hiking/activity buddy.
ALL the odds have been stacked against this sweet boy, but he pulled himself through them in hopes of there being a happy life on the other side. Could it be with you?!
If interested in adopting, please fill out the application and RFR will be in touch!
Buster is also looking for a foster until he finds the perfect forever family. If Interested in fostering, please contact me directly at chelsea@rescuefriendsranch.org. Thank you!

More about this rescue
Rescue Friends Ranch NFP is a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue located in South Austin, Texas. We currently rescue any and all types of dogs without discrimination, but primarily focus on the underdogs - whether that be dogs with special needs, seniors, scaredies, ferals, strays, or dogs on an urgent euthanasia deadline - we work to physically, emotionally, and behaviorally rehabilitate dogs coming from critical circumstances so they can have the life that they deserve.
Rescue Friends Ranch NFP is ran alongside Rescue Friends Ranch LLC, which provides boarding, training, daycare, socialization, and outings to clients in the community for profit. All profit from RFR LLC pet services are transferred directly to RFR NFP to help fund our rescue work. This relationship also benefits the rescue dogs by providing them access to all services RFR LLC offers; including interaction with socialized client dogs, and built-in exposure and matchmaking with the RFR client base.
