Rusty's Story
Howdy from Texas. My name is Rusty, and I’m a very handsome 8-year-old, 16 lb, red wire-haired Dachshund mix, ready to hitch my wagon to an East Coast star! I was dumped in San Antonio, followed a man home who was walking his dog, and was invited to stay until my family was found. Unfortunately, nobody claimed me, and I had no identification. No biggie… I was posted on NexDoor, and 4 Little Paws reached out to take me. Now I’m living in a foster home, safe and sound, and having some fun while getting ready to find a forever home. I am now neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I also had my teeth cleaned. I’m ready to meet you with a big smile, showing off my pearly whites!<br/><br/>First and foremost, I’m a dog owner's dream. Cool, calm, and collected, I am friendly to all, quiet and well-behaved, housebroken, and sweet as can be! I adore people and laps, LOL! If you are looking for a lap dog, I’m your guy! I’m not kissy or slobbery, but I’m totally snuggly. I enjoy playing with squeaky toys and the company of other dogs, but I’m not really playful with them. I’m more of a greet them with my tail wagging to say hello sort of dog. My foster mom wants you to know that I love walks, and I have the most adorable happy bounce/trot with my tail held high like I’m the cheeriest little fella in town! I’m still a bit nervous going for a ride in the car, but if I’m in your lap, I’m on cloud 9. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today!<br/>Adoption Fee: $600<br/><br/>Another YouTube video of Rusty: https://youtube.com/shorts/Mw95dwBDG78<br/><br/>LOOKING FOR AN APPLICATION?
