About Busted Buster!
Busted Buster is a gorgeous hunk of cuddly 3 legged dog, looking for his forever home.
He loves affection and seems to smile all the time with a rather goofy expression.
He came into the care of Gloria, the famous "Dog Lady of Yuendumu" in the NT after he was injured playing the very popular "lets chase the cars" game.

As such Buster lost one of his front legs but that is not stopping him from loving life. So now Buster has come to find a forever home where he can learn to walk on the lead and go for walks and runs rather than chase cars.
Usually, once a dog has recuperated from the care of Gloria they are keen to leave and return home but Buster liked it in the medical room and became particularly attached to a cat.
That cat is very confident and is very comfortable cuddling up to sick dogs, so Buster might like a home with another confident cat.
Buster is approx. 5yrs old, a medium sized, chunky dog who could loose a few kilos. He is used to dogs of all shapes and sizes and loves the car.
All Camp dogs are such a mix of breeds, each one being unique. So don't bother asking what breed we think Buster is because we don't know. You'll be able to play the guess what breed my camp dog is game, for the rest of his life.
He could have spent time in an extended family so may be good with children??
He needs to learn to walk on the lead and from there get used to all the sights and sounds of the city.
We have rehomed other 3 legged dogs who have gone on to lead very full lives so sensible exercise will be good for Buster.
He is a very sociable dog so we don't know how he would be home alone for long hours eg. working hours.
Buster flew from Alice Springs to Sydney and is in foster care in Kingsford near the Uni of NSW.
He is de sexed, vaccinated and parasite treated.
PLEASE NOTE
Even though Buster is in excellent health, he has come from an area where there have been a lot of cases of Ehrlichiosis so as a precaution, Buster has received a course of antibiotics and has been tested.
