Buster
Meet Buster! This 1-year-old Australian Shepherd Mix has a good energy level and will need owners with experience training and owning this specific breed of dog. While he is an utter darling, he is not a fan of confined spaces, so he would do best living in a home with a backyard over an apartment or condo where he would have to use an elevator. Due to his energy level, Buster would do best living with older children (16+). This amazing and very loving boy simply needs the right home in which to thrive; Paws4You.org.
“I’m an incredibly affectionate boy, if I do say so myself, and very true to my Australian Shepherd side.”
Trick or Treat?
As pet parents, we must think beyond our own desires in order to best set our pet up for success. As you prepare for your Halloween activities, ask yourself — is my pet OK with wearing a costume? Is my pet comfortable around people wearing costumes? Do I trust my pet won’t steal candy or pick some up from the street? How can I avoid an accident? Even if your pet is social, it’s best to walk him/her before trick-or-treating prime times. If you have a dog who enjoys dressing up, you can feel free to attend a pet-friendly Halloween event where he can strut his stuff. The costume shouldn’t limit your pet’s movement or senses, ability to communicate (bark or meow), and it should be appropriate for the outside temperature to avoid overheating. If your pet tries on his costume and seems stressed or uncomfortable, consider a festive bandana instead. Essential safety precautions to keep in mind during big holidays like Halloween include: ensuring your pet is wearing a collar with up-to-date tags and microchip information, keeping your emergency vet’s number handy in case you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, and being mindful of open exterior doors to prevent escapes.As pet parents, we must think beyond our own desires in order to best set our pet up for success.
