Buster Staffie DOB Sept 05

xxlynne · Buster Staffie DOB Sept 05

Buster waited for 2 years for someone to give him the life he deserved. We were there ready and trying. His owners gave up and took him to Battersea instead why ?because they might have thought he had a better chance of finding him his home. The family admitted it was explained he might not make it through their assessment process. Buster wasn't going to get through their assessment; he was too big; too bouncy; too full of life...but now Buster can run and run and run.. go boy go..fetch it. Your dreams can come alive now.

Buster's thread below:

Buster is a 2 yr old Staffie big and beautiful! He has had a stable background and enjoyed training and fun times. However his life has turned upside down as his owners have split and due to circumstances he is left alone all day with just lunchtime relief..then a short walk during the weekdays..longer at weekends. He copes well and isn't destructive or noisy..however his energy levels and emotionality is sky high for about 30 mins when his owner arrives home and she knows he can't cope long term as a young dog.

Buster is neutered, vax'd and chipped. He is not over weight but a good weight with a shiny brindle coat. Fully housetrained. He has the Staffie leapy up trait especially when excited and needs more expression of his pent up energy than to just be able to command him by words. On meeting him I could see he wanted to run and run. He is good off the lead and mixes with dogs. He has a male Rottie friend that he visits and they have a great play.

Buster is FAB. but will take some work to settle his energy levels but thank God he isn't in kennels..he has always experienced love and is very well socialised. He has a tremendous amount going for him to compete with the hundreds of Staffie seeking good understanding homes.

Buster we hope you woke up this morning with a lovely feeling coming over you.

We have a couple visiting with Bonnie their Collie this pm..

Alas..Busters energy level through the roof..as not receiving the exercise and occupation he needs so meeting wasn't easy. We will try and take Buster in but knowing the urgency of other dogs..might be sometime.

Let's hope they are that magic couple and he enchants them.

Buster is just bursting with energy. We have introduced 3 couples to him ..the last today and he has just been too much for himself and them. Our plan is to bring him in to foster and offer him expression for his energy so we can see the fantastic dog he really is.

this is so sad.Run free sweetheart. What people forget or don't realise is that battersea is a pound, no matter how its dressed up, and whilst strays will get their mimimum 7 days, a surrender will need to earn their place by "passing their assessment ", because there will be another dog that they have to take in.
Perhaps we need to think about putting a time limit on how long they stay at home before we take them in - but then there will be strays unable to come in because he has the kennel space.
stuck between a rock and a hard place really - and there are no easy answers.

Can't express how sad this makes me feel. Wish he'd known what it was to be wanted.

Go little fella to that better place and be forever special. Very Happy
