Our pet of the week this week is Buster Brown. He is a laid-back, go-with-the-flow kind of guy! He does well with other dogs and is more than happy to go for a walk or be lazy on the couch with you. He is neutered and ready to go home today! Come meet Buster at the Good Shepherd Humane Society Adoption Center any day from noon to 5 p.m.
