Meet Buster!
This handsome young bully boy is as sweet as they come and a naturally social pup. He was rescued from a rural county shelter, where his standout doggy social skills caught the attention of one of our amazing foster moms, who stepped up to foster him and bring him safely into rescue.
Buste has been thriving in his local foster home for the past few months, living with his foster parents, Travis and Laura, and two young playful pups, and he fit right in from day one.
This handsome guy is a natural with other dogs, loves to play, shares toys nicely, and is a huge fan of tug-of-war. He’s also house-trained, crate-trained, and has excellent leash skills… honestly, the total package.
We checked in with his foster dad, Travis, for an update:
“Buster is very adaptable. He enjoys other dogs but is also very connected to his person. He doesn’t want conflict and has a very happy-go-lucky attitude. He’s easygoing and did great adjusting to life with our bigger dog, Penny. He was a little nervous the first day, but by day two, they were cuddling together. He’s young, playful, and energetic, so he’ll do best in an active home with a dog who likes to play. He listens well, wants to please, and walks nicely on leash without pulling.”
Buster has been on a few road trips with his foster family to Camp Ivan, his foster parents’ home away from home in Paw Paw, WV, and he did great. He enjoyed the trails and wide-open space to romp and explore with his pup pack, but always keeps a close eye on his humans and likes to stay nearby. His recall is excellent, and he travels well.
Buster is truly a gem of a dog - affectionate, easygoing, playful, and ready to find his forever family. He will make an excellent pack companion and family dog, and is ready to start his new life….Apply today!

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted.
