Meet Buster, he is a bit of a hidden gem!

He was found far from homes by some kind forestry workers. Although we have asked, Buster hasn’t told us how he ended up there. He appears to have been well loved and well cared for. He is tidy in his kennel and has wonderful manners, someone has spent time showing him how to be a great canine citizen. The finders said that he was good with their children and did not try to chase their cat. They only had him for a brief period but it gives us a bit of extra information. He appears to be good with dogs. He would need to meet any potential doggy housemates to make sure they want to be a family.

If you're interested in Buster please fill out an application below:

🐕‍🦺 Ready for epic summer adventures with your dog?
It's time to hit the trails, lakes, and mountains! But before you head out, here are some essential tips from AnimalKind dog trainer Lynn Gagnon (Stoked Dogs - Dog Training) to keep your adventures safe and fun:
🎒 BE PREPARED: Pack a pet-specific first aid kit, extra water and a bowl, and don't forget the treats! Consider pet first aid certification if you're a regular adventurer.

Mac and Cheese are two sweet, inseparable brothers who do everything side by side, mealtime, naptime, and even their daily sessions of silently judging the humans. Where one goes, the other follows.
These handsome boys have enjoyed one too many helpings of the good life, and now their vet says it’s time to trade the buffet for a balanced diet. They’re currently on a journey to rediscover their waistlines and are already making progress.
Mac and Cheese are looking for a quiet, loving home that will support them on their weight loss journey and help them settle into this new chapter of their lives with a forever family.
