Hi,

My name is “Buster”. My elderly owners both passed away and I need to find a home. I like staying inside with people but I go outside too. I have a chip implant in case you
misplace me. I’m around six years old, neutered and house trained. I just need
to find some one so I can be their friend.

 If you would like to meet me, I’d love to meet you!  Please call Eric at 972 801 7842,  leave a message about me , and Eric will return your call. 

Love,

Buster
