Buster is a 5-year-old Pitbull/Labrador in LaGrange, GA, who needs $1,031 for Heartworm Treatment.

Buster came into our lives working on our boat. I noticed his ribs were showing and he acted hungry. I've always had a dog,but not at this time. Just retired from driving truck OTR. Went to get dog food and he gobbled it up. It was going to be 27 degrees that night,so I took him home. Figured I'd check with the office at the marina next morning to see if anybody was looking for him.

No one claimed Buster. We live with other people that share a house. There's 2 other dogs and they all get along. Busters happy place is at the marina where he showed up at. He likes to run, play fetch, and be my guard dog when I'm at the boat. He sits,shakes a paw on command. He slept on the floor first but now sleeps in bed next to me. He's my protector.

Buster likes to make me laugh. If I'm busy and ignoring him he'll come and look at me and paw at me to get attention. We'll play fetch with his favorite toy. He sleeps up in bed besides me. He'll give me doggy kisses and loves to be brushed. He likes his dog treats when he's a good boy. He'll shake to get his treats.

We took Buster to get his rabies shot and check up. We already gave him his other shots. After his exam we were told he already has heartworms. So we started his treatment. He is worth every penny I spend !!

We are both living on retirement. His treatment is more than my retirement. He is worth saving and I love him. He brings me joy and happiness and I want to do whatever it takes to save him !
