Buster Bud is a 5-year-old Plott Hound in Maryville who needs $900 for Mass Removal.

Buster Bud came to us from a hoarding situation as a 8 wk old puppy! It was love at first sight even though he was super skinny, bald spots, scars on his legs. The pictures of the scene of where animal control found him was beyond horrible, his mama was chained and was decreased, as were several of the other hounds. Most of the puppies were alive due to not chained.

Buster is a very loved member of our family, he has 2 pitbull brothers, 1 pitbull sister, 2 human sisters that he loves very much and they all love him! Buster is a mama's boy and is my 2 year old's best friend. He is very important to our family. He is also the world's greatest babysitter, He follows my 2 year old everywhere .

Buster is talker and is very vocal, he loves to "talk" and carry around whatever he can put in his mouth. He loves to take off running and tuck his tail as he is running to play. He will take a ball and play fetch with his self, as in take the ball in his mouth then throw it in the air with his mouth and try to catch it again. We love watching him do it!

Buster had a lump come up on his right hind leg, I thought he got sung by a wasp or bit by a spider but then I noticed it was growing slowing. I made a appointment with our vet to have them check it out, our vet stated it was a mass but was not sure what kind without sending it off. She recommended we have it removed, I began to save up for it, but grew twice the sized before I had all of it.

I am a single mom working full time to support my 2 girls and my fur babies this surgery was way out of my budget. My fur babies are all utd on their vaccines but something like this was not expected. It would mean the world if we could raise the money to get our Buster bud.
