Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buster is the most resilient, determined, and loving pup you will ever meet. He loves being with his people, getting head scratches, and exploring the yard. Sadly, his life wasn't always so great; while living as a stray in the Bahamas, Buster was hit by a car and suffered a spinal injury that left him paralyzed. After a month of dragging his hind legs through the streets, alone and trying to survive, some wonderful people found him and got him the help he so desperately needed. After he was stabilized, they flew him to the states so he could be seen by veterinary specialists and find his furever home! Buster may not have use of his back legs anymore, but that doesn't slow him down. When you put him in his wheel chair, he is unstoppable (just watch your toes, as REALLY, nothing stops him)! As a paralyzed pup, he needs a little extra help, but within minutes of meeting him you'll see that he is absolutely worth it. If you're looking for a best friend that will love you unconditionally for years to come, look no further than Busterino.
