Rusty's Story

Rusty is an incredibly sweet, snuggly, and happy little guy - truly a wonderful (medium sized) Terrier.<br/>He has been good with young children (3-6), done well with the other dogs he's met, and enjoys talking to and trying to play with 4 outdoor rescue kitties he can interact with through a fence line, so we think he will do quite well with a resident cat. <br/><br/>He is one of 4 Terrier mixes abandoned in a very rural neighbor's backyard and never claimed (it seems they were from a backyard breeding project, as other similar dogs were also found by others in the general area and owners never found). The finder was unable to keep them, as he had his own dogs and all 4 *can* climb chain link/welded wire. He and his assumed to be brothers (Russell, Rascal, and Romeo, the TerrieRs) then had a foster offer in Washington, where they were neutered and finished their vetting. <br/><br/>Rusty is incredibly sweet, and loves to snuggle. He has the perfect mix of sweetness and playfulness - he could do well in a variety of home settings (family dog, therapy dog, adventure buddy, companion to an older person or couple or younger people/families/with kids). He is crate trained, and has done well in a home with close supervision and interaction, but has not been left to free-roam the house unsupervised (between being 4 intact male dogs, and then crate rest after neuter), but we think he'd be very well-behaved. He has had no crate accidents, and let's people know when he would like to go out/go potty. <br/>Because he can climb chain link and welded wire, his main consideration is an adoptive home where he cannot climb out if momentarily bored or lonely, so preferred homes will have wood or vinyl fencing - he would also do well in an apartment setting or similar, where his time outside is supervised or leashed. <br/><br/>Rusty is in foster in Washingtion and will be transported to CA for adoption around the middle of October ?
