Hello! I’m Buster – your new bestie!
I was dumped in the bush with my siblings. Found by chance by some campers, I was taken to a council pound and thankfully, Off The Chain saved us before our time was up! Since they saved us, we have been thriving in foster care!
Temperament
I’m everything you’d expect from a teen-curious, playful, and full of energy! I love exploring, playing with my doggy friends, and soaking up all the cuddles I can get. I have an easygoing nature and will thrive in a home filled with love, structure, and plenty of fun. I live with two older large breed dogs who like to play! I enjoy chasing them when they play fetch, and I love playing with tennis balls, squeaky toys, and rope toys. I am very responsive to praise as I am a very loyal and sweet dog and will be your new shadow. I live with human children also, who quickly became my besties! I don't even chase the cats here, we're friends.
Health and Training
I’m in great health and ready to learn all the things I need to know to grow into a well-mannered adult dog. I'm a mix breed... I'm fully grown now and more of a border collie size- my sister Missy is smaller than me, and black and white. But with my shaped head nobody is 100% sure on my breed mix! I have a beautiful short white coat with spots and the cutest ears that stand up when I'm listening or thinking! I'm a mostly outside dog here, but am highly trainable so if you'd like me to be an inside dog then that would be awesome! I'm very food motivated so training is easy peasy! My recall skills are coming along great, I wait for permission before eating, and my basic commands are down-pat. My leash skills are a work in progress, and I travel well in the car.
Personality
I’m a happy-go-lucky pup with a big zest for life! I get along great with kids and other dogs, and I’ll bring so much joy to any household. I’m playful and energetic but also sweet and affectionate and love a big snuggle and chilled afternoon. I’m the perfect mix of fun and love.
Ideal Home
Here’s what I’m hoping for in my forever home:
* I'm used to carers who work, so I really love to spend time with the kids and adults in the yard when they're home.
* A secure yard with at least 5ft fencing to keep me safe.
* A doggy sibling to play with or someone who will spend a lot of time with me- I'm not built for that solo life!
* Regular exercise and mental enrichment-just 10-15 minutes of focused mental stimulation can be as tiring for me as 30-60 minutes of physical exercise!

DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. This holding deposit will be subtracted from the adoption fee should you adopt the animal on hold for you.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)

NEED TRANSPORT?
1. Apply to adopt per the above process.
2. Get quotes and select your desired transporter. We recommend Aeropets, Jetpets, and Dogtainers. Contact us for weights, height etc where needed. We also recommend Pet Waggin pet transport who can assist with road transport.
3. Message or email us to say you have applied and that you will require transport. Tell us which company and a potential departure date from that pet's nearest airport or meet point.
4. If your application is successful, we will lock in a date with you, coordinate any required 'fit to fly' certifications, a food delivery to your home, and appropriate training to make your new pet as comfortable on transport as possible.
5. All adoption contracts, adoption fees, and photo ID must be submitted to us via email before animal boards transport.
We will take into consideration the pet's ability to travel safely and comfortably before agreeing to send them on transport, and expect a high level of care from whatever company is engaged to move the animal.
