Help us find Buster his forever home! This loveable, silly dog had a rough time for the past 6 months and has been with us as a foster since early January. We pulled him with the help of BAMM Rescue from Stanislaus Animal Shelter after his SOS video showed up on my social media.

Buster was confiscated as evidence in an animal cruelty case against his previous owner. The case was dropped due to ‘lack of evidence.’ Buster endured a stab wound under their care and ended up stuck in the shelter for 5 months while the legal system worked it out. Then he was moved to the euthanasia list. We wanted to help get him another chance.

We have no information about the case or previous owners. They cared enough about him to potty train him and teach basic obedience. The prolonged time in the shelter was very hard on him- and it’s taken some time for his mind to finally settle down and feel safe.

We’ve got him in a good routine and he’s growing into a pretty well mannered boy- but he does have some work ahead of him. He’s very affectionate and just wants all the pets and cuddles. Belly rubs are his absolute favorite!

He’s been great when we go to work in his dog-proofed area. He’s crate trained and potty trained- he hasn’t had any accidents in his area while we’re out for 8-9 hours. He also walks nicely on leash for a high energy breed. We use the gentle leader and he responds very well to it. He does get excited around other dogs.

Once Buster has had his regular exercise he settles to his place very well. Maintaining firm boundaries with him is necessary, he’s a confident, curious boy. He’s been a good listener when we tell him to settle. He’d thrive in a household that can provide that routine and calm, firm leadership. A home that can continue to work on his training would be best.
