More About Buster-TherapyDog
Meet Buster, our "Therapy Dog"!
Buster is a unique dog with a job- he’s a “therapy dog” for dogs! He is a 3 year old neutered male mixed breed who LOVES all female dogs, and more importantly they love him. He has a special talent for getting just about any female dog- no matter how scared, aggressive, dominant, or aloof- to be his friend. He is the official greeter in his foster home, befriending any new resident and helping them adjust faster. He has even helped dogs in other shelters previously labeled “dog aggressive”- he breaks the ice and has gotten several formerly hard-to-place dogs to learn to be dog-friendly and even be successfully adopted into homes with other dogs!
Sadly, despite his talent, our Buster needs some “therapy” of his own. He was rescued from an abusive situation and was terrified and emaciated when we got him. His original owners never brought him to a vet and did not socialize him, caging him when visitors came and purposely trying to make him aggressive. Because of his rough start, he is very fearful of new people, and protective of his home and owner. Most shelters/rescues would have been had to euthanize an unadoptable dog with Buster's issues, but he is so happy living in his foster home and is very sweet-natured and gentle with the people he trusts. He is content having a "job" and will dedicate his life to continuing to enrich the lives of the homeless dogs around him. After the hundreds of dogs he has helped, we think he deserves a safe place in which to live out his life!
Buster-TherapyDog is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
