My name Buster and I just arrived from Arkansas. I'm here in Minnesota to heal my heart and find my new forever family.
You see, my previous person passed away and nobody claimed me, so I ended up in a shelter that gets a lot of other dogs. I've understandably been very nervous, confused, and sad. I'm currently skittish and uncertain about things, but am holding onto hope and trying really hard to be brave.
I have some places on my legs that are healing, but that should be cleared up soon.
Here is a quick overview, but please read more about me below, too.
+Dog and human friendly
+Crate trained (not a fan, but I'll do it)
+Potty/house trained
+Child friendly if they can respect my nervous cues and need for space
I am learning that I don't have to be nervous and that I can start trusting humans will love me and not leave. I like to hole up in my kennel or a pillow fort if I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I like to be outside. My foster family thinks maybe I spent a lot of time outside in the past, so learning to relax inside is something I'm working on.
I do well in my kennel if I have to go in it when I don't want to, but it makes me nervous to get in there (sometimes I need a bit of physical encouragement), but I settle down relatively quickly.
I sleep in between my kennel and a dog bed in my foster parent's room. I haven't figured out getting onto the bed and have declined to use the stairs for it. Sometimes I'll snuggle on the couch with them.
I am dog friendly and am fairly submissive. I don't like it when they chase me right now, it makes me nervous. I also don't like sharing stuffed toys with one of the resident dogs. They have been confiscated.
I walk well on a leash and don't pull much.
My perfect home is patient and full of love and regular reassurance that I am safe and loved. When I am ready to cuddle, l lean into you for love.
