Meet Buster Who

Buster is scheduled for his neuter on Thursday, March 20 and has not yet completed his puppy vaccinations. Due to this he is only available for adoption within 30 minutes of Des Moines, Iowa. This restriction will be lifted after he has been fully vetted. Buster Who is an approximate 11-week-old, 13 lb., male, possible Cattle Dog/Heeler mix. He came from a shelter in Oklahoma with his momma, sister, and brother. He was born at a truck stop in Oklahoma after his momma was dumped there and became pregnant. Momma has the look of an Australian Kelpie. She is small and only around 25 lbs. Buster and his siblings will likely be around 40 lbs. full grown. We have no idea who Daddy is, so his breed mix is unknown. Buster came into rescue about 5 weeks old and very cautious of people. He has opened up the past couple of weeks and is getting more and more brave every day. He needs continued socialization and a loving forever home that can show him the world and help him gain experience so he can be the carefree puppy he deserves to be. He has been getting outside to explore and work on his bravery, and he loves it! He is a clean slate with being a house dog and will need all the training going forward. His foster mom is working on helping him feel safe outside and gaining experience to help his confidence. He is a sweet little boy that has so much potential. He will need to work on house training, leash training, and kennel training with his new family. Siblings: Beans Who (M) Cindy Lou Who (F) If you are interested in meeting Buster Who, please complete an online application at https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
