Buster

Hello there! I'm Buster, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR Buster
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM

My Ideal Home:
• Familiarity and understanding of my breed traits would be highly valued.
• I'll need daily exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Ongoing training and guidance with basic manners will help me grow into a well-behaved companion.
• I want to be part of the family indoors - not left outside without interaction.
• Secure fencing is essential to keep me safe.
• I'd love plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep my busy mind occupied.
• Regular brushing will keep me looking and feeling my best.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family.
• A home without young kids will be best for me due to my herding tendencies (breed) & mouthiness during play!
• I absolutely LOVE water and chasing the hose.
• I'd love a friendly dog playmate - or, if I'm your only dog, regular opportunities to socialise with other dogs. I can be a little unsure when first meeting a dog but become comfortable quickly if they are social & non dominant. I can be reactive to dominant dogs.
• A home without cats & pocket pets/small animals would be best for me, as I'm likely to chase them.

My Paw-some Perks:
• I'm a vibrant, happy & squishy teddy bear <3
• I'm very toy motivated, which makes training lots of fun and helps me learn quickly.
• I know my basic commands like sit
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I'm quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans.
• I LOVE toys - especially my ball! Fetch and tug-of-war are some of my favourite games.
• I adore water and will happily splash in my bowl, chase the hose, or take a swim in a basin or river.
• I'm clever, enthusiastic, and would thrive with a family who'll continue my training and maybe even teach me some cool new tricks.
• A beautiful & handsome man who is a testament to my breed

Training & Support Needs:
• Ongoing training recommended to ensure that I stay the best behaved & mannered boy that I can.
• In my last home I would bark & pull towards other dogs when passing them when out walking. I do listen to correction and am easy to re direct my focus! A competent owner who will work on this behavior so that I walk past & approach other dogs in a well mannered way is crucial!

Please Note: You'll only be able to meet Buster if your application is approved. Successful applicants will be invited to the shelter for a meet-and-greet, and any dogs currently in the home must attend as well
