Buster - elderly Collie x GSD - Surrey

DOB - April 2001
Buster is an elderly GSD x Collie who arrived into rescue after he snapped at his owners grandchild.
He was due to be put to sleep because of it.

Buster was very underweight and weighed in at just 20kg. He should of been 40 - 45kg at least.
He also had a lot of muscle wastage. This was where his body has been using muscle reserves to keep going.
It meant that he had a weak back end, so gentle exercise was started to build this up slowly.
When he was wormed he produced about 10 very large round worms, so these would have contributed to his emaciated condition on arrival.

Buster has progressed well in rescue and in just two weeks had put on nearly 20kg in weight.

Buster is a very soft natured dog who gets on with most dogs he meets, both males and females.
We have seen no aggression from him towards people, but because of his past we are looking for a no child environment - this includes both children who live in the home or visiting children.
He is safe to be around people in public places and meets strangers and other dogs very well.

Buster cannot live with cats.

Buster has no known health problems.

Buster has been castrated, fully vaccinated and microchipped, plus his worming and flea treatment has been bought up to date.

A homecheck will be carried out and a minimum adoption fee of £150 applies.

He is gorgeous, i love dogs so much.

I hate stupid owners who do not know how to care for them properly, especially and older dog. I am glad his wieght is back on the poor sweetheart. It is so sad. I bet he did not snap at the grandchild at all and if he had it was probably because it was annoying him and with his pain etc. Poor thing.

I hope he finds a good home as it is hard for older dogs I know.

Wish we could take him.

    

Oh, the poor old boy. It never fails to shock me how awful people can be

I really hope he finds a loving home where he can live out the rest of his days happy and comfortable

Please keep us updated on this chap's progress x

Oh Bless him 13 years old   

Still waiting for a home

Does anyone have room in their heart for Buster?
He doesn't ask for much - a nice cosy bed, cuddles, a short walk and a full tummy.
We would love to see this sweet old man enjoy his retirement in a home.

This wonderful lad has now found a home. Good luck boy!
