Meet Buster!While Buster shares his name with the lovable pooch from Toy Story, his looks are far more distinguished. He is a 50# terrier with an adorable underbite and an enticing top knot a La Don King (the boxing promoter). He was isolated in his first foster home, having minimal interaction for a couple of years. Now he is coming out of his shell: tail up & wagging, the look of fear gone from his eyes, even occasional zoomies with his other dog buddies. Buster gets along with cats and dogs. He is fine with all people, meeting them at his own pace. Earning the trust of a shy dog is so very rewarding. Your patience will earn you a steadfast loving companion for life. Please consider giving this overlooked gem of a dog his happy ever after. Attributes:

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
