My story

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

Please contact my foster at: easanders3@gmail.com

Buster Bear has clearly had a rough start to life, but he’s making up for lost time by soaking up all the love he can get. He’s a true Velcro dog: affectionate, cuddly, and happiest when he’s right next to his people.
What to know about Buster:
•Extremely people-oriented; follows his humans from room to room and wants to be as close to you as possible (if not on you)
•Sweet, affectionate, and loves to snuggle
•Happy boy with a tail that never stops wagging
•Not a typical Cane Corso guard dog. He enjoys meeting new people and just wants love and attention
•Experiences some separation anxiety and may cry; settles best when crated in a quiet room
•Has zero concept of personal space and can be grabby with treats, so a home without small children is recommended
•Came in very malnourished and is highly food-motivated; will try to eat things he shouldn’t, so supervision or crating is needed when left alone
•Still working on house training; tends to mark or have accidents when excited, which may get better after his neuter
•Does great in the car but needs to be clipped in; he will try to get in your lap
•Large, strong boy who would benefit from a strong handler and consistent leash training
•Appears dog-friendly, but slow, proper introductions are always recommended
•Does not seem cat-friendly and will bark at cats
•Not a fan of being outside, so he would love to be an only indoor dog
•Heartworm positive, so exercise should be limited, and monthly prevention is necessary to prevent further damage to his heart and organs
Buster is a big, soft-hearted lovebug who will thrive with structure and continued training. He enjoys napping, cuddling, and eating, but his favorite thing by far is love and affection. He will make a wonderful companion!
