When TV star Laura Byrne adopted her beloved rescue pooch Buster eight years ago, she was in a tough spot.
"I was freshly single and going through a crappy break-up," says Laura. "I always say Buster was my rescue animal, because adopting him pulled me out of such a sad time of my life."
It almost happened by accident. Laura had befriended a neighbour who was Buster's foster mum while a rescue organisation in Sydney was searching for his forever home.
"I completely fell in love with him and couldn't imagine him being with anyone else, but at the time I lived in a rental that didn't allow for pets," says Laura.
"A couple of months passed and I ended up adopting him and signing a lease on a pet-friendly home and we've been inseparable ever since."
Laura says there is a misconception that rescue animals are going to be harder the idea that you 'don't know what you get'.
