Meet Rusty
Meet Rusty!
Rusty is a male, 4 year old Shepard mix. He is a great sized boy, currently 54 pounds! Perfect size for being your best companion and going on all your activities!
This boy is extremely smart! He was a part of and completed the prison program. Meaning he went through training with an inmate and excelled! He has so many qualities of a service dog / therapy dog. He was close but didn’t make the cut for that (not because he isn’t a good boy) but because he can’t seem to contain his excitement and he gets a little mouthy only when over stimulated! He needs some redirection when he does that, so someone that can be consistent with him is best! For this reason we suggest he doesn’t go to a home with young kids. We promise this is not an aggressive trait in any way, we just want to set everyone up for success!
He doesn’t mind cats and he does well with other dogs. He’s gotten along with all of them at his foster home and he is getting very well socialized! He absolutely loves human companions which is why he gets so excited!
Rusty does well on leash and hopes his new family will take him on lots of walks and hikes. A nice day outside and a snuggle to finish it off sounds like a perfect day for Rusty! He really is going to make a wonderful companion!
Rusty is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, microchipped and will have his health certificate prior to adoption.
