Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Buster is an adorable 12 lb. male Shih Tzu (maybe Maltese) mix. He is still very much a puppy at approximately 18 mos. He is a happy, energetic, playful pup who loves squeaky toys, cuddles and treats. His favorite activity is exploring and running in the yard with his foster siblings. Buster was rescued as a puppy from a hoarding situation. He has been working on his social skills with other dogs and humans in his foster home, including house training and leash walking, This sweet boy is learning how to be a beloved pet, but he is still unsure of things like loud noises, and needs a patient family. He is smart, and trainable and has a bright future in the right home. Buster needs a quiet neighborhood, someone at home to continue his socialization and training, another small dog to play with and learn from, and a fenced yard. He is fostering in NJ.
