Rusty

If If ever there was a pup in need of a happy ever after, it's Rusty. This boy was the last dog to be pulled from the shelter's kill list.<br/><br/>Why?<br/>It certainly wasn't because he was a bad boy. Instead, it was because of his eye. He had a growth in his eye that was bloody and obscuring his vision. People didn't want to risk taking on his vet bills, but we couldn't let this sweet soul be euthanized. We worked with our partner to get him out of the shelter and into veterinary care.<br/>We were able to have the growth surgically removed, and then waited with bated breath to see if the growth was cancerous. We got the good news that the growth was completely benign (not cancerous)!!! Hurray for Rusty!<br/><br/>But... Since then, Rusty has been with his foster, waiting for someone to fall in love and take him home. <br/><br/>Rusty is about 2 years old and weighs 57 pounds. We think he's a Vizsla mix.<br/>He gets along wonderfully with people; he has female friends, so we think he prefers females. He did well with males, but needs to meet first. <br/><br/>He's a high-energy dog (who wouldn't be after regaining sight!) and would do great with an active family.<br/>He's good on a leash and good in the car. He's already picked up on a few commands, such as 'sit,' and he understands 'no.'<br/><br/>Rusty is more than ready to find his forever home and start a new chapter of life - one filled with love and happiness!<br/><br/>Currently in Texas but ready to hop on our transport to come to NJ area. <br/>- Personality: friendly, affectionate, resilient, active, loves water, good in a car<br/>- Good with: people. Will do best as the only dog. Has not been cat tested yet.<br/>- Training: knows some basic commands such as "sit" and "no"; leash trained<br/>- Estimated age: two years old.<br/>- Weight: 57 pounds<br/>- Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped<br/>- Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.<br/><br/>If you have any questions please email: info@friendsforlifeanimalrescue.org<br/><br/>To apply to adopt: <br/>Adoption app - https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167<br/><br/>We need fosters. join us! https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155<br/><br/>Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible.<br/><br/>100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.
