About Buster

Buster is a Mali cross GSD cross Bull breed. We were asked to take him in as he was taken in by another rescue we work with, having done his 7 days. Buster had been chained to a gate and was there for 2 days without food or water we are told. The police had tried to get him but he was giving it large! Our rescue contact went in, told him to shut up and sit down, and Buster was his best friend. He then had to get the chain from around his neck back at the kennels. Buster was born December 2019. He is now neutered and microchipped and his vaccinations have been restarted. He could be intimidating to start as his automatic reaction in new situations was to look big and brave and make a lot of noise. He initially hated all dogs he saw but is getting better with female dogs. “Buster has become some of the volunteers favourite at the kennels. He prefer meeting new people when they sitting down and they will then be greeted by buster trying to sit on their lap. Buster has an issue with moving cars when out on walks so ideally need a home without much traffic going past. Buster still can be protective of his people on walks so still need to be aware of that.” Buster is going to a need an experienced and confident home to give this lad the boundaries he will need otherwise he may well become dominant and we suspect that may be the reason he was dumped. A special home needed for this special lad.
