(KERO) \u2014 Our featured pet of the week on Wag Wednesday is Buster. He is approximately four-years-old, weighs around 60 pounds, and he is adoptable through Kern County Animal Services. His animal ID is A1173688, and you can click <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/24petconnect.com\/KERNAdopt\/Details\/KERN\/A1173688\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to view his shelter profile. <\/p>\n<p>Nick Cullen, director of Kern County Animal Services, says Buster has been in and out of the shelter since he was a puppy. When he was young, Buster had an injury that required one of his back legs to be amputated, so he is a tripod. That doesn&#8217;t slow him down, though! Nick says since the amputation happened when he was a puppy, Buster adjusted and walks and runs like normal. <\/p>\n<p>Buster is a very sweet dog. Nick says Buster is like the &#8220;big brother&#8221; in the shelter playgroups\u2014being a role model for good behavior and matching the energy of the other dogs. Buster would do well in a multi-dog home, or with someone who has an active lifestyle. <\/p>\n<p>If you would like to adopt Buster, you can visit Kern County Animal Services in person at 3951 Fruitvale Avenue in Bakersfield, or call them at (661) 868-7100. <\/p>\n<p>Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
