After two adoptions and two returns followed by over five years in the shelter, one senior dog couldn't contain his excitement about having his own backyard.

Buster spent 90 percent of his life living in an animal shelter. First adopted as a puppy, Buster was returned as an adult dog. Then, unfortunately, he went through the process one more time with the second adoptive family returning him for his excessive jumping while excited, a Pet Rescue Solutions Instagram post stated.

All Buster needed was someone to understand his over-the-top energy was his way of showing his big feelings and thankfully that was Cristy. Known on TikTok as @crismarty47, Cristy adopted Buster from the California shelter and gave him his dream yard.

Her July 22 TikTok video shows Buster in his new space, a place to call his own and enjoy whenever he wants. He immediately made himself comfortable. He showed his forever family how he felt about the yard with none other than breaking out the zoomies.

Buster couldn't stand still, running back and forth throughout the yard. All his pent-up energy from living at the animal shelter and his excitement instantly released when he realized his dream yard was finally his reality.

His reaction further proves it doesn't take much to make a dog happy. This is just the first taste of his new spoiled life he'll have forever.

U.S. Shelter Numbers

Each year 6.3 million pets enter U.S. shelters, which is an average of 17,260 a day, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The number of dogs and cats taken in by pet shelters hit 46,807 during January 2023, an increase of 1,744 compared with January 2022, the 24Pet "Shelter Watch Report" found.

Around 920,000 surrendered animals are euthanized every year. Shelters are striving to minimize euthanasia rates by promoting adoption campaigns, spaying and neutering programs, and behavior rehabilitation.
