Rusty's Story

Meet Rusty! This 15-year-old little guy was found along the side of the road and brought in by animal control. He had a microchip that showed his age and name, but it was a dead-end as far as reaching owners. And none ever came looking for him. So he is now looking for someone to adopt him for his golden years! Adoption fee is waived for seniors, so apply to bring this boy home today!<br/><br/>Rusty is mostly blind, but he can hear. He gets around okay though struggles with his back end (potentially some IVDD as is common with his breed). Because of his age, we do not feel he is a candidate for any surgeries, but he is not in any pain and is a happy-go-lucky boy. He LOVES to be held and would thrive with someone who is retired or works from home to love on him most of the day. He barks when he wants your attention (and don't forget- he is a hound breed), so he would do best in a home, not apartment.<br/><br/>Rusty is available for adoption in state or out of state. We currently have transport options for people who can pick up in NY, Chicago, and Boston areas. If you are not in Houston, please note how you would plan to get Rusty. Apply at caitiesfosterfam.org/adopt

Caitie's Foster Fam's Adoption Policy
• Potential adopters are required to submit an adoption application and be approved before they can physically meet a foster dog. All pets in the home must be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered (medical exceptions must be communicated). We require an application, virtual home visit, personal/vet references, meet and greet, and $350 adoption fee. • Suitable applicants may be contacted for additional screening. • Once approved, meet and greets with the foster dog and foster parents will be scheduled with qualified applicants. • The adopter pays adoption fees and signs an adoption contract. Foster dogs cannot go to a potential adopter’s home until the fee and contract are received. Foster dog then goes to its new forever home.
