About Buster Jr.Meet & Greet
Buster Jr.
Good with dogs: Meet & greet – rowdy/rough playstyle
Good with cats: Passed a cat test!
Buster is a super sweet dog with cute spotted freckles on his nose. He's a happy guy with contagious enthusiasm; the type of dog who adores people and just wants to make you smile.
When it comes to commands, Buster's been a star student. He listens very well and knows sit, shake/give paw, lay down, stay, and come here. He's housebroken and has done well with being crated. He's gentle when taking treats.
Buster loves to play, especially if you join in on the fun with him! He especially enjoys stuffed toys and tennis balls, and will leap and bounce after them. Toss him a treat, and he'll catch it in the air!
He's very cuddly and affectionate, and he'll often seek out pets, leaning his whole body against you. He certainly appreciates a good belly rub. While out on walks, he'll glance back at you from time to time and give you a sweet smile.
Buster has had positive experiences in playgroups with other dogs. He has a rough-and-tumble playstyle. We're not sure how he'd do with cats, but we could assess him.
Buster is so ready to make lots of happy memories with you. If you're looking for a loyal and devoted companion with tons of love to give, bring your pack (people and dogs) and come ask about Buster!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
