Buster Photo Gallery

May 21, 2005

We are officially and completely moved into our new home. Buster is thoroughly enjoying the large fenced front & back yard to the house! Buster also enjoys playing here at his new house with us. We just love him! Thanks again!
Buster

He is a good boy and loves us as much as we love him... he is weighing in at 50 pounds now.

Photo: Buster loves his new family!

BusterAdopted April 9, 2005 Buster was an 8 month old, male (neutered), black/tan, fluffy coat (technical term), German Shepherd mix. Buster was a very sweet, very well mannered puppy. This doll just hung out with you. He was very well mannered and had gotten along with our young son, cats, and dogs (large and small) beautifully. He loved the new tennis balls and playing with his doggie friends. He and Belle made fast friends and had been playing quite a bit between their naps.

Buster Update (March 30, 2005): Buster urgently needs a home. We know that he is not a purebred, but he is a puppy. He is a beautiful and loving dog who has been around children and other dogs. He is sweet, housetrained, and a doll. Mixed breeds do not get placed through purebred rescue often and wind up spending months, if not years, in rescue. He has already been here 3 months and will be having his one year birthday in April. He is a puppy and deserves a home of his own. Hanging out with dog friends is fun, but sharing humans with several other dogs just isn't the same as having a family of his own. Please be that family for Buster.

A special thank you goes out to Buster's sponsors: Amanda Wood & Chris Bland. Nancy Kurpaitis.
