Buster is a big boy with a big, goofy, lovable personality. He's the type of dog that everyone in your life knows the name of and has a funny story about.

Buster is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. His favorite things are treats, playing, and people who pet him. He loves toys of all sorts (and is always down for a game of tug-of-war).

While he's a whole lot of fun, Buster needs an experienced, confident adopter. He has worked very hard on training and structure in his foster home. Once he learns your boundaries and settles in, he really shines. He'll look to you for guidance on how to be his best self.

He is energetic, but is happy to chill after his morning exercise routine. He's a great work from home buddy, only getting up from his nap for an occasional scratch on the head. He likes to be involved so he will follow you around as you move about your home.

Buster absolutely loves other dogs and is learning to take cues when playing. He currently lives with another dog in his foster home and would do well with a playful, tolerant doggie sibling (or would be happy as an only dog).

Buster is extremely social and sometimes has trouble containing his excitement. As a result, he can be reactive to dogs on leash. He is working very hard on improving and will need an adopter dedicated to continuing his training.

While he's very friendly with people, he's a big boy that doesn't understand his size so he would do best in a home with older children.

Buster sleeps through the night in his crate and settles in the crate during the day. However, he can be vocal when he can't greet guests. Because of this, he would do well in a home without nearby neighbors or neighbors who will appreciate him as he sings the song of his people.

Buster will be a fantastic, loyal companion. If you're looking for a dog where you can see your hard work pay off and quite a few laughs, Buster is your guy!
