Buster the Bull Terrier - Operation Appeal

Buster the Bull Terrier saved from certain death and currently in a foster home is in urgent need of dental surgery.

Buster was examined by the vet after a foul smelling odour was noticed coming from his mouth.

He is currently on antibiotics prior to surgery and is due to undergo his operation in a weeks time.

The cost of surgery is estimated at approximately £211 (documentation from veterinary practice available).

If you can spare a couple of pounds to go directly towards the cost of his operation please send a donation to:

EDDR (Buster)

Buster was signed over to the EDDR by the Local Authority-Bolton.

He had originally been picked up by the Dog Warden and placed in the stray dog pound after wandering the streets.

Buster was later falsely claimed by someone from the kennels, the police investigated, in the meantime he disappeared from the person who falsely claimed him, ended back up on the streets and then into further trouble following a street brawl with another dog.

There was a police investigation and legal proceedings were expected (DDA), but all concerned didn't want Buster to come to any harm, only to be responsibly owned. Following lengthy discussions and with Buster signed over to a rescue, all proceedings have been dropped and Buster is now a free dog!

Due to an appeal on the internet, a foster home was found and volunteers transported Buster to his new safe home with Jenny and her dedicated family.

Buster has endured several homes, a long stay in kennels, the threat of court proceedings and an uncertain future, his operation is now the last big hurdle he faces, he will be receiving lots of TLC post surgery and once fully recovered will be able to find that special permanent home of his own. He has a been a super dog in the home, full of character and so much deserving a chance to be happy with a responsible owner to take good care of him.

Buster update: Veterinary cost total £223.42

Buster had four incisors and 3 molars extracted a descale and clean up. He is very sore and has been given painkillers. Currently he is wrapped up on his bed. We have sent him love from everyone.

The cost of Buster's operation was £185.48, the EDDR was granted a discount as Buster is a rescue dog. The initial examination and medication was £37.94 giving a total to date of £223.42.

EDDR has received 13 cheques which total £206.

It was a lovely surprise to collect the mail from the PO Box today and open the letters and cards all wishing Buster well and a full recovery, including a nice photo of a white bullie lying upside down on his chair!

EDDR will acknowledge each letter and send a receipt also.

Once veterinary expenses covered any extra cash will go to Buster to buy him food, his new collar and leash, worming tablets.

Anything left after this will be returned to the donator or with their permission given to EDDR to help another rescue dog - 'Ted' (photos available) an unhappy, lonely bull breed cross who has been in kennels for over 3 months as he can't find a home, has no friends and not much hope. He needs vaccination, ID chipping and castration to begin with and to give him more of a chance.

Many thanks to Buster's friends out there.
