Buster Has One Sponsor

My name is Buster

It isn't the first name I've had but it is the one that comes with the best memories so I'd like to keep it.  

One day my human drove me to an unfamiliar neighborhood....I couldn't run fast enough to catch up as he sped away.  I spent the next several days approaching every car and home hoping for a familiar scent but nothing!  Now very hungry I spotted a human sitting in his car in his driveway.  Dare I approach!!

We have a severe housing crisis!  We try to never say "No" to a dog who needs us. We are ALWAYS in need of more housing units!  Learn more on our Housing Page.

You’ll note the proximity of his favorite red lobster toy in the pictures. It squeaks and he likes that a lot, so he carries it around with him. It rode with him in his crate all the way from New England. Bosco loves his new play yard. It backs up to a pasture with  beautiful views and interesting neighbors. Amos and Ona, the resident donkeys, came to visit on the first day. (You can’t see it in the photo, but there’s a wire fence that separates the donkeys from Bosco’s yard by about 4’ - but they can get very close to one another, and check each other out.) It was interesting that Bosco didn’t bark or fuss at the donkeys. He was just curious. Being a city boy, he found these strange creatures to be very interesting. And he hasn’t shown any signs of being aggressive.

We hope to find Bosco a friend to share his townhome and play yard with - someone to run and play with, and nap with. We’ll start introducing him to potential buddies once he’s had a chance to fully settle in.

The gentleness in his voice told me this was someone I could trust so not wanting to miss the opportunity I quickly jumped in his car and licked his face in a gesture of my appreciation. I spent several days with him, his wife and other dogs.  I got lots of food and plenty of pets and I felt safe there.  I wish I could have stayed but with other pets to care for, the search began.

I was a young 1 year-old guy and it was obvious that I was never taught any manners.  I had a lot of energy and love to jump up and try to give you kisses and at my size that can be intimidating to some people.  An opening was available at a training facility where I was to spend the next several months.  Unfortunately, I did not care for the demands placed upon me during the training process and was sadly deemed unpredictable when I failed to meet their expectations. I didn't mean to be a naughty boy but you see.....I was abused as a younger dog and was most likely being trained to fight.  One injury was so severe that I lost my right eye so I don't trust all humans and that setting just didn't bring out the best in me.

Remember that guy in his car that I told you I could trust?  I WAS RIGHT!!!  Through his family's love and determination I now have a new home at a sanctuary called Smiling Dog Farms.  I reached my destination thanks to a terrific pilot and his friend who flew me the 8 hour trip.  They say I can live out my life here in peace along with the many other animals on their property.  I'm happy to be here, the people are nice and I feel safe once again.

YOU Can Help

There is no such thing as a gift too small!

We have all heard that before, and there is a reason, it is completely true! Even a monthly gift of $10.00 helps greatly to support one of these dogs.
