Rusty's Story

Howdy, y'all -- name's Rusty, though some folks call me their little Hershey Kiss 'cause of my rich chocolate-brown fur and shiny golden eyes. 🍫✨ I'm about 7 months old, still a young fella, but I've already mastered the art of making humans melt.<br/><br/>Wanna know my special trick? When you call my name, I give you my famous Rusty Smile -- I curl my lips just enough to show my top teeth. Don't worry, it's not a growl... it's just my goofy way of saying "Hey friend, I see ya!" 😁 I'm a hugger, too. My favorite place in the world is right in your lap with my head on your shoulder, soaking up all the love. I may look a little rough around the edges, but inside I'm nothing but sweetness, gratitude, and heart. ❤️<br/><br/>I've got plenty of personality -- silly, affectionate, and always ready to play. I even know how to fetch like a pro! I'll bring the ball right back and give it up without a fuss. No tug-of-war, just good, clean fun. 🎾 I've got excellent manners, no food aggression at all, I follow commands like a champ, I redirect easily, I'm pretty darn potty trained! I've been sleeping in a kennel inside a shed at night, getting let out a few times, and I know to do my business outside. Yep, I'm a marker -- just leaving my doggy postcards around. 😉<br/><br/>And if you're looking for a pup with good taste? Well, I'm your guy. I love eggs, wet food, salmon, chicken, and pumpkin. Basically, if it's tasty, I'm thankful.<br/>****************<br/>All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.<br/><br/>Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.<br/><br/>Adoption Fees:<br/>-$60 for cats<br/>-$60 for dogs over 6 years<br/>-$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years<br/>-$100 for puppies up to 6 months<br/><br/>Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
