Buster

My story

UPDATED! BUSTER NOW NEUTERED! Ready for the cutest dog in the world? "Buster" is an 80-lb (and growing), 1-yr old (born 4-29-23) neutered male GSD mix who is playful, super-affectionate and well-mannered for such a young dog. Buster is wonderful with everyone he meets, though he can be a little rambunctious with enthusiasm when he first greets some people. Buster is great with young children. He was raised with five kids, ages 3-7 yrs. His youthful exuberance might pose a little hazard for really young kids, but I'm confident that Buster would quickly tone down his energy for toddlers. Buster is fantastic with other dogs. He loves to play (see elsewhere on this page for video) and has displayed zero aggression towards any of the other dogs at GSRSV's rescue ranch. I will give strong preference to prospective adopters of Buster who have a large, young, playful dog for him to play with! I don't know how Buster is with cats, but I imagine he'd be OK w/ a very dog-savvy cat. However, I will only consider giving him a try in a home w/ a cat if there is a already a dog present that he can play with and expend his energy on. Buster is housetrained and has not had a single "accident" inside at GSRSV's rescue ranch, where he has access to a dog door. He has chewed on a phone power cord and has done a little counter-surfing, but otherwise is very well-behaved inside. He has received very little training but is a very fast learner; he learned to sit for treats in just a few minutes. He definitely needs leash-training. Buster LOVES to go for car rides and is a very calm passenger. This dog is ready-made for adventures! Buster loves to swim in the pond at GSRSV's rescue ranch. Buster was adopted as a young pup by a family in Vacaville. They recently moved into a rental house in which they were not allowed to keep large dogs. His person (Paige) then resorted to keeping Buster in her car for awhile, letting him out several times throughout the day. Paige's husband contacted GSRSV back in December letting us know of Buster's plight and so we took him in in late December. Buster is located in Pleasant Grove, CA. His adoption fee is $300.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Buster, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
