Rusty

Rusty is a 3-year-old, 88-pound gentle giant with the softest soul and the squishiest face you can imagine. With all that adorable loose skin around his face and neck, he is truly made for cuddles — and he’s more than happy to soak them up.<br/><br/>Despite his size, Rusty is a mellow, mild-mannered guy who moves through the world with kindness and calm. He walks beautifully on a loose leash and adds a little extra charm with his cutest booty shake as he strolls along. It’s impossible not to smile watching him walk.<br/><br/>Rusty has a gentle demeanor when meeting other dogs and is currently thriving in a foster home. One of Rusty’s most impressive qualities is how wonderful he is with cats — truly one of the most cat-friendly dogs we’ve ever had. Because Rusty can become overwhelmed in very busy or high-energy environments, he would do best in a home with children ages 10 and up where things are a bit more predictable and calm. Rusty also has a quiet aversion to men and may be initially avoidant or uninterested. Any men in the home will need to be patient and willing to put in a little time and effort to earn Rusty’s trust. This is typical of many breeds that make up Rusty's DNA (results below). <br/><br/>If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who is equal parts cuddly, sweet, and charming, Rusty is ready to lean his big heart right into yours.<br/><br/>Embark Results: <br/>25.4% Presa Canario <br/>21.1% American Pit Bull Terrier<br/>15% Mastiff<br/>12.2% Doberman <br/>11% Supermutt (German Shepherd, Bullmastiff, Golden Retriever) <br/>9.5% American Staffordshire Terrier<br/>5.8% Boerboel <br/><br/>Adoption Application: www.jasperslegacy.org/apply-to-adopt <br/><br/>************************<br/>Rusty is located in a foster home.
