Adopt Buster-6

Male · Adult · 8 years

Hometown: Hungary We have a DNA breed determination for him. Buster is an impressive but gentle giant – a mix of Dogo Argentino, Neapolitan Mastiff, and Staffordshire. In October 2023, he was found in Nagykörös, Hungary, and arrived at the animal shelter severely underweight – a sad sight! Despite his past, Buster is incredibly people-oriented. He loves being close and enjoys cuddles. His coat has recovered, his eyes sparkle again, and even after everything he’s gone through, he is cheerful and grateful. Buster is active, playful, and wants to experience something new every day. Walks with meaningful training are a must for him – he is a clever male dog who needs guidance: lovingly but consistently. He shows himself to be safe in the company of people of all ages, and he is well-handled on a leash. Originally, he lived alone in the zoo, but recently he moved in with another male dog, which worked out well – he is compatible with fellow animals, and he has been tested with female and male dogs. Update: Buster-6 and Barni now live in a new 2-person flat together, and it’s going well. Unfortunately, ear cropping was also performed on Buster, so an entry into Switzerland is not possible. For our wonderful Buster, we are looking for breed-experienced and loving people who can give him what he likely never experienced before: love, care, security, safety, and 100% family connection. He should finally be able to feel that he is valuable and that there are people who care for him and who he means something to. He should finally be able to experience daily extended and exciting walks, to be trained and supported in a dog-friendly way, and to live his life happily, carefree, and protected as a full-fledged family member. We heartily thank Karin and Julie Zollinger for taking over the paternity of Buster!

Herkunftsland: Ungarn Uns liegt eine DNA-Rassebestimmung vor. Buster ist ein beeindruckender, aber sanfter Riese – ein Mix aus Dogo Argentino, Neapolitanischem Mastiff und Staffordshire. Im Oktober 2023 wurde er in Nagykörös, Ungarn, gefunden und kam völlig abgemagert ins Tierheim – ein trauriger Anblick! Trotz seiner Vergangenheit ist Buster unglaublich menschenbezogen. Er liebt Nähe und geniesst Streicheleinheiten. Sein Fell hat sich erholt, seine Augen glänzen wieder, und selbst nach all dem, was er durchgemacht hat, ist er fröhlich und dankbar. Buster ist aktiv, verspielt und möchte jeden Tag etwas erleben. Spaziergänge mit sinnvollem Training sind für ihn ein Muss – er ist ein cleverer Rüde, der Führung braucht: liebevoll, aber konsequent. Er zeigt sich sicher im Umgang mit Menschen jeden Alters, ist an der Leine gut führbar. Ursprünglich lebte er allein im Zwinger, doch zwischenzeitlich zog er mit einem Rüden zusammen, was hervorragend klappte – er ist verträglich mit Artgenossen, getestet wurde er mit Hündinnen und Rüden. Update: Buster-6 und Barni leben neu in einer 2-er WG und das klappt gut. Leider wurde auch bei Buster eine Kupierung der Ohren vorgenommen, weshalb eine Einreise in die Schweiz nicht möglich ist. Für unseren wundervollen Buster suchen wir rasseerfahrene und liebevolle Menschen, welche Buster all das geben, was er vermutlich noch nie erfahren durfte: Liebe, Fürsorge, Geborgenheit, Sicherheit und 100% Familienanschluss. Er soll endlich spüren, dass er etwas wert ist und es Menschen gibt, welche sich um ihn kümmern und denen er etwas bedeutet. Er soll endlich erfahren dürfen, wie es ist, täglich ausgedehnte und spannende Spaziergänge zu geniessen, hundegerecht gefordert und gefördert zu werden und als vollwertiges Familienmitglied sein Leben glücklich, sorglos und beschützt zu leben. Wir danken Karin und Julie Zollinger ganz herzlich für die Übernahme der Patenschaft von Buster!

About Buster-6

What life with Buster-6 looks like

Buster-6 is a extra-large adult dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Buster-6, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buster-6?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buster-6 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buster-6 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Buster-6 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Buster-6 isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buster-6 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
