Buster
Buster has been adopted!
His story:
If you are looking for a mature dog with loads of personality, look no further than Buster. He appears to be mostly Chihuahua, but also has the distinctive body and nose of a Boston Terrier, so likely has a little of that in him as well. He certainly has all the personality characteristics of both breeds. He weighs in at about 5 pounds, and is approximately 7 years old. He is very active and loves to play with toys -- especially those twice his size -- but like all mature folks, enjoys a power nap. He loves attention, and will literally hop straight up on his very long legs to get it (we call it Buster's patented "busta move"), but once a scratch or two is extracted, he loves to snuggle and chill as well. He gets along fine with the other small dogs in his current foster home pack, but tends to play with only one other dog at a time -- and mostly prefers to play with his human pack-mates. He is house broken, and while exercise is always welcome, he will not need much room to run around/play, making him perfect for someone in a condo or apartment. Every now and then he will guard his resources with a growl -- mostly when he is startled, but sometimes when he just does not feel like giving up his spot -- this seems to be just part of his feisty personality, but his foster parents have been working with him on minding his manners. He will bark at the door like all dogs (especially like those in his current foster home pack), but quiets down quickly and appears very trainable. He loves walks, car rides, and being carried by his foster mom (and graciously accepts kisses, but is a little embarrassed to kiss back). He is a very well-adjusted and fun little boy, and will make someone a perfect companion. If you are interested in meeting Buster, please contact info@aleguprescue.com. He is being fostered in San Francisco, but arrangements can be made for anyone outside of that area.
