My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Buster – the tiny, toothless, totally terrific senior sidekick you didn’t know you needed!

At nearly 15 years young, Buster may be technically a “senior,” but don’t even think about calling him old. This pint-sized gentleman still trots around the 1-mile loop at his foster home like he’s leading a parade. He’s got pep in his step, wisdom in his eyes, and a very strong opinion about people food (namely: yes, please, more of it).

Here’s what makes Buster a certified catch:
🛋️ Couch connoisseur – He adores naps and uses his doggy stairs like a pro to get on and off the couch. It’s his throne, and he reigns with sleepy dignity.
🚶‍♂️ Walk enthusiast – He happily does his daily stroll and will remind you that age is just a number (and also a state of mind).
🐾 Social butterfly – Great with other dogs and all humans, from toddlers to grandmas. He hasn’t met any cats recently, but we’d bet he’d just blink at one and go back to napping.
🚫 Not a fan of stairs – Full staircases? Nah. But a few steps to the deck? He’s got that covered like a champ.
💔 Toothless wonder – After having 23 teeth removed, he’s all about soft snacks now. Combine that with his heart murmur and he’s basically a plush toy with a pulse.
🙉 Deaf but delightful – He can’t hear you open the fridge, but somehow still shows up exactly when the cheese comes out. Coincidence? We think not.

He’s mostly house-trained and will keep things tidy as long as he gets a few regular potty breaks.

Buster is the full package—snuggly, polite, easygoing, and just the right amount of quirky. If you’re looking for a mellow, lovable, snack-motivated best friend who won’t judge your TV choices or hog the covers (too much), Buster’s your guy. 🐶💤🍗

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
