Rusty's Story

BREED-Dachshund. <br/>SEX-Male; <br/>SIZE-Small; <br/>WEIGHT-20 lbs.; <br/>AGE-Approximately 2 Years <br/>SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; <br/>HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; <br/>GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; <br/>GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; <br/>GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; <br/>HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; <br/>ADOPTION FEE-$300;<br/>Hi, I'm Rusty and just to let you know I am a bigger Dachshund at 20lbs, just more to love! My journey to the shelter? A tale of mischief! I once mistook a jogger's shoelace for a chew toy during a park stroll. As I tugged, well, let’s just say it sparked a comedic chase scene straight out of a cartoon. Eventually, I was brought here, where I keep everyone entertained with my playful antics. I'm the friendliest, funniest Dachshund mix you'll meet, always ready for a game or a good laugh. Looking for a loyal companion to bring joy and laughter to your home? I’m your guy!
