Buster

My story

LOCATION: Guntersville, ALDOB: 05/25/2023My name is Buster, but my foster momma calls me Bean, Buster Bean, Buster Bear, and Buster Brown. I am about a year and a half old, and I think I am part Great Dane, Catahoula, or Australian Shepherd.I currently live in Alabama, where I have a half acre fenced in. I don't stay outside all day; I have a dog door and access to the house when the weather is bad, or I just don't want to be outside anymore. I really love being outside, but I also love to be lazy inside too. I love to run around the yard with momma's other dogs. I do really well with other dogs—from big Great Danes to little Cavaliers. Momma has cats too, and I don't mind them at all. One of the kitties actually likes to sleep with me when I'm being lazy.My energy level fluctuates. I love to play and run in the yard, but when momma says, "Go lay down," I'm happy to go nap, too!I am super affectionate and love to have my head and tummy scratched. I love hugs, and I love to give kisses. Momma prefers that I not give her kisses on account of where my tongue has been, but I still try to sneak them if I can. I am so lovable that I don't even mind sharing my food with the other dogs or even the cats when they try to sneak it.I do have some anxiety issues when I'm left alone, but I do okay when I'm able to be outside with the rest of the dogs even if momma is gone. I have not had a lot of leash training, but I learn really quickly. In fact, I love to sleep on the couch and bed, but I've already learned that I'm not allowed on the bed or couch unless momma invites me up. I learned that lesson really quickly and I'm super good at following directions... usually. I love praise and affection from momma when I'm a good boy.I am fully potty trained right now. I do not do well being left alone in a crate. My current foster momma doesn't crate me when she leaves; I just stay outside and in the laundry room with the other doggos, but I tore up two crates out of anxiety when I was with my last foster. Momma also doesn't have kids, but the previous foster did and I loved to lay with the baby and give her kisses.I am still learning not to counter surf, and sometimes I still steal things to chew, but I promise I'm doing better.I think the perfect family would have a yard and maybe another dog, and I wouldn't mind cats either. I would love kids to play with if you have them, too!Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
