Back to all dogs

Meet Buster

Say hello to Buster! Buster is an approximately five-year-old, 25-pound mutt mix, available for adoption through Chi Town Rescue. Buster first came to the shelter in July 2024 with 10 other dogs, as part of a hoarding case in Concho, Az. All of the dogs were fearful to varying degrees and all but three (including Buster) have found forever homes. Buster was one of our hold-outs as far as being comfortable with the humans. A few months ago, Buster broke through those walls and decided to let the humans start petting him! Not only is Buster allowing us to pet him, he will even nudge us if we stop AND offer us his paw to hold (it's the cutest thing!). Buster will undoubtedly be shy with new people, but if you go slow and have patience, we are sure Buster will eventually warm up to his new human friends. Buster is social with other dogs and enjoys playing and zooming. He would do best in a home with another dog (or two!), as they can help him feel more comfortable in a new environment. Buster also enjoys squeaky toys, zoomies, and snacks. He is a curious guy who will follow you around once he trusts you (and especially if there's food involved). Buster would do best in a home with no small children, and a secure yard/fencing. No apartments please, as Buster is not yet leash-trained and will need a yard he has access to, for potty training. If you have room in your heart and home for a special dog like Buster, please send us a message! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information/meet and greet appointment with Buster. Buster's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date, and microchip.
