Buster is a sweet calm boy who was surrendered to our rescue as his owners could not care for him any longer. Buster is 9 years old and weighs a hefty 17 pounds, he should probably be 14 or 15 :) He is friendly, & great with other dogs and cats. 

BUSTER IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!! Buster's allergies are now under control with daily medications. He has gained most of his vision back with daily doses of ointments for his eyes, and now happily jumps up on the couch when invited. He actually enjoys having his eye meds put in, and slip his pills into a piece of deli ham & they go right down. His meds will run about $100 per month - but he will MORE than make up for those with all the love he will shower on his new family. 

Don't let Buster's allergies stop you from meeting this exceptional boy - we promise you will fall in love!!

Buster has some health issues right now which we are caring for. He came into our rescue with yeast infections in both ears, a bad skin infection, and green goopy eyes. He has been diagnosed with dry eye, and is being treated for this with prescription and non prescription eye ointments. Buster has linited vision due to the untreated dry eye, we are hoping he will gain some back with regular treatment. He is given prescription shampoo baths for his skin, and receives ear meds. He does have allergies which are complicating his issues, so as soon as we can get a handle on what is causing what, we can move forward with a targeted treatment plan. When we can get everything under control, he will be available for adoption.
