This Mastiff's beautiful face expresses pure devotion....we are calling him Buster but we don't really know what his name has been all of his life.

He truly loves everyone he meets no matter how they treat him.

We feel that someone must have truly lost their best friend in this Mastiff....

He was rescued from a busy street by a caring lady who found him wandering loose and worried he would be hit by a car. He had made such an impression on that family in the couple of days that they had him that they truly loved the dog- however they were just not in a position to keep a Mastiff so called rescue to help. The lady said he particularly adored her husband- following him around the place and lying at his feet gazing adoringly into his eyes as though they'd been together forever.

They put signs up all over the place and called the shelters and police departments and no one had reported missing a Mastiff...she had him scanned for a microchip and there was none.

So now we must move on to find him a new home. Someone will be VERY lucky to share their lives with this gracious gentleman Mastiff.

Buster is a mature boy who is possibly seven or eight years old- who is good with all people and is also great with the two Mastiffs in his new foster home.

His foster mom says that he eats in the same room with them and is very polite about his food bowl- not attempting to hijack theirs- which is another very good thing for those in multi-dog households to know that he has no food aggression.

From his new foster mom on day one: "Very Gentle - tries to lick my face if I lower my head anywhere near him for too long and loves to lean against anyone.
Did not show one ounce of aggression to either of my two female Mastiffs - and they barked at him and tried to push him around.  He just ignored them and they gave up."

She also reports that this lovely boy is VERY intelligent and knows how to open gates and does so at will. He 'freed' her girls already once and thank goodness they just wandered around to the porch in front.

So Mr. Buster's new home must have a backyard fence that can be padlocked or a way to put a clip put on the gates.

The lady who found him reports that the evening he was found was stormy- and he was on their front porch and became frantic at the thunder sounds, so they put him in the house where he went inside a big dog crate and felt safe and went right to sleep.

So apparently he has some thunderstorm anxiety. Since he is secure during storms in a crate this will be easy to deal with for his new owners.

He will jump up sometimes in greeting, so would do best in a home without very small children that could be easily knocked over and NO CATS.
