If youre looking for a friendly companion who is always ready for fun, Rusty may be your perfect match!<br/><br/>Playtime is Rusty's favorite part of the day. Whether he is chasing toys, romping around with his canine friends, or exploring his surroundings, he is always on the go. He's an energetic pup who would thrive with an active family that can keep him engaged and give him plenty of opportunities to play.<br/><br/>Rusty walks nicely on a leash, knows come, responds well to verbal correction, and is eager to please. He's currently working on his house training—he's doing well with going potty outside, and he is making progress with the rest of his training.<br/><br/>Because Rusty is curious and can be quick to slip through an open door or gate, he will require a securely fenced yard where he can safely run and play.<br/><br/>Rusty would do well in a home with another playful dog and would likely love a family with children. His compatibility with cats is unknown.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, loyal little buddy who will keep you smiling and fill your home with love, Rusty is waiting to meet you!<br/><br/>Rusty is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application.

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
