My name is Buster Scruggs. I am a male Boston Terrier. I am a super spunky, affectionate, cuddly, wiggle butt. I’m not much of a fetcher, but do love my tennis balls and chew bones. I enjoy sunbathing with my humans and leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. I am a great walker. I love to take in new smells and may gently guide you where I’d like to explore, but am also perfectly happy letting you take the lead. I am also very gentle when accepting treats and food by my humans and I will show you what a statuesque sitter I can be. I do get the zoomies when I come in from the cold outdoors and can be very playful at times, but my favorite thing to do is relax close to my humans, especially if you have a cozy spot on the couch for me. I bet we even like to watch the same shows and I promise to share the blanket. I have been respectful of my fenced backyard boundaries and have not attempted any grand escapes. Did I mention how much I love car rides? I am a great traveling companion as I stay calm and do not get car sick. I am also a good boy roaming the house when you’re away. I have not chewed on anything that doesn’t belong to me or had accidents. I also do well being confined in your absence. It makes me sad to see you go so I will whine and may bark a couple of times, but I settle down quickly for a nap while I await your return. I am dog sociable but will do best in an only pet household because I like to keep all toys and chews to myself. I have been around cats and with immediate supervision I will respect their personal space, however, when no one is looking I will charge them and could cause harm. I am very eager to please and respond great to verbal commands and love positive reinforcement. I am a happy-go-lucky, man’s best friend and am patiently waiting to greet my new family with lots of kisses and cuddles.

Medical: When I spend a long time running or playing hard, my back leg bothers me so I will keep weight off it until it subsides. The vet says I have some slight movement in the knee in my back left leg, but nothing concerning. She has provided me with some pain medicine when it is aggravated. I am a healthy and vibrant boy.
Likes/Dislikes
Toys: I love toys. Preferably durable or rubber toys because I do like to unstuff fluffies. I also love sitting down to a good chew fest on an antler or other chew bone.
Other Animals: I like other dogs and interact with them fine as long as there are no toys or chew bone type things available. I will run and play with them just fine, but no fetching because everything is mine and I get upset when another dog tries to take my toys and will lash out. We are going to work with a trainer on this.
People/Kids: My foster family has teenagers and I love to shower them with kisses.
Car Rides: I am an excellent car rider.
Separation: I settle down quickly when my humans leave and am content napping while they’re away.
