Meet Rusty!
11 months old | Mixed Breed | 45 lbs

Rusty is a friendly, people-loving, high energy young dog who is always ready to go!

He's done great with kids and loves being around his people... but shelter life is harder for him than most.

Rusty is extremely stressed in this environment. The noise, the confinement, and the constant stimulation have been overwhelming for him, and it's started to affect his behavior here.

Because of that, we are really looking for the right placement for him.

Rusty is the kind of dog who needs:
Space to move and burn energy
A structured routine and consistency
An outlet for his drive and instincts

A rural home, active lifestyle, or even a farm-type setting could be a great fit for him, where he has room to run, a job to do, or a way to channel his energy in a positive way.

He previously lived with other dogs, but has struggled with dogs in the shelter environment, so a meet and greet is required if there are
