Rusty

Meet Rusty: The Ultimate Loyal Companion! <br/> 4-Year-Old Chiweenie (Chihuahua / Dachshund Mix). weighing just 12lbs. <br/><br/>This handsome Chiweenie is smart, affectionate, obedient and loyal, he prefers to focus on his adult parents as kids and active or big dogs make him a little nervous. In his foster home, he gets along very well with his dachshund foster sisters, but they don't interact much. He would do fine with a small, mellow canine sibling or as an only dog. <br/><br/>Rusty acts like he's had some formal training. If you're looking for a dog who loves to stay by your side, Rusty is your guy! When walking on a leash or exploring an off-leash backyard, he stays right with his human-no more than 6 inches away from your leg! He is treat/food motivated so training with treats is very effective!<br/>He is highly intelligent and already knows several commands: He knows "Sit," "Down," and "Dance"!<br/>He has an excellent recall and comes running whenever he is called.<br/>Rusty is an all-around wonderful companion. He does bark at what he perceives as important things to report such as a knock at the door, a strange noise outside, or something suspicious on the TV!<br/>Rusty has a high prey drive for squirrels and critters! <br/>He loves his person! He is a little timid when meeting new people but once he trusts you, he is your best friend. He is active and playful guy who wants to engage in a game of catch, tug-of-war, or chase.<br/>When the day is done, Rusty is the ultimate snuggle partner. True to his Chiweenie roots, he loves to sleep burrowed completely under the covers of the big bed right next to his human.<br/><br/>Rusty is almost completely housebroken; he is incredibly smart and will catch on to a new routine very quickly! Because his current foster home requires walking down two flights of stairs to get outside, he has been utilizing potty pads by the door when necessary. He would love a safe, fenced in yard where he could explore and enjoy a good sunbath.<br/>He does not require a crate when left alone, he has never bothered or chewed on anything in the house.<br/><br/>Rusty would be best suited to a home where someone is home most of the time. <br/><br/> Location: Fostered in Pacific, MO<br/> Adoption Fee: $325<br/> Apply at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ITMD/Dog
