Adopt a Lhasa Apso / Mixed (medium coat)

Lhasa Apso / Mixed (medium coat) Dog

Buster the Dog needs a home

Buster may be an older guy, but he has lots of love to share. He's currently dealing with the loss of the doggy friend that he grew up with and we think he's handling it really well. He's living in a foster home with another dog and loving it. His favorite part of the day is any time that he can go for a walk!


Buster can be a little anxious when left on his own so we think that he would be better with someone who is home a lot or who can take him when it's time to go out. We also think he would love to have a yard to play around in, although he seems pretty flexible. Clearly, though, he needs a home where he can be walked regularly.


Buster does not want to live with children, but we don't know about cats yet. He hasn't learned to do stairs, so one-level living would be ideal for him.


 

 

Name: Buster


Location: Foster Care (All our dog meets are by appointment for approved adopters only.)


Breed: Lhasa Apso mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label)

Weight: 14 pounds


Reason for surrender to shelter: Buster was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for a dog.
