Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ohhh Buster - This very special dog comes with a story from Mexico, and I will share an email with his history below. He is coming to Oregon early December. He flies into PDX and will be fostered in either Portland or Central Oregon.
"A man walked into the Ranch (the rescue we are helping is often called 'The Ranch' to people in the area) one day and said there was a pup up on the carretera that had been hit by a car. We took Martin up there with a blanket and he carefully lifted up the four month old pup. I was a very new volunteer so I tried to stay out of this process as I didn't think it would end well for this pup. As I was leaving that day, Gudrun (who ran the Ranch then) asked if I'd take the dog to the vet. It was Sunday so only Pepe was open. I took him down there and he gave him a shot for inflammation. We took the poor thing back to the Ranch and he couldn't walk; I was certain that shot wasn't going to help. Pepe wanted to see the dog the next day, this time he gave him an antibiotic. That is exactly the reason why I don't like to use Pepe. I took the pup back to the Ranch and we sat there with him on my lap and I showed Gudrun his legs, it was obvious they were broken.
So we took him to Dr. Baron in Guadalajara. Baron took an x-ray and he was a mess. Both rear legs broken as well as his hip. The hip wasn't a big concern but our options were euthanize him or put him through surgery. It probably wasn't a great choice, but we chose surgery. When he was ready to be released I took him home. He couldn't put any weight on his leg so I had to keep him in a crate and then just let him out a few times a day to eat and pee/pooh. When he was peeing and poohing I had to wrap a towel around his middle to support him so he wouldn't put much weight on the leg.
He started feeling better but he was dragging one leg; he had nerve damage. So back to the vet, this is when he gave us the option to amputate or euthanize. After all he'd been through with his previous surgery, I didn't think it was fair to euthanize.
So once again he went to my house to recover after the amputation. And he stayed for two years. He is a happy, loving dog, and he has been at The Ranch ever since."
Buster is a pup with a story, and he deserves a family of his own after everything he has been through!! Buster is happy go lucky, and never lets life get him down. He does great with other dogs and people, and is a favorite at the facility where he has resided. He is estimated to be about a year and a half. Will you be the family Buster has waited for?
