Rusty Chocolate Labrador Retriever & Australian Shepherd Mix Sharon, VT

Due to state laws regarding out of state adoptions, we cannot adopt to families in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.

Rusty is a bit shy, but warms up fast for a belly rub. He is a loving boy who does great with other dogs. Rusty shies away from the quick, unpredictable movements of younger children.
He has tested positive for heartworm and is currently on a round of antibiotics before starting his treatment.

His listed breed is an educated guess made by our veterinarian and is NOT a guarantee - this also means we have no way of knowing what his adult size will be.

He is currently being fostered in Mississippi and will be transported via Pet Express transport services upon adoption. His adoption fee is $400 and includes neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, a nose to tail vet check, and transport costs.

Second Chances lists dogs as being available in Kittery, ME because we transport our dogs to Kittery every other week after they have been adopted. All of our local shelters have a high euthanasia rate due to overpopulation so we created our rescue group to primarily adopt to the northern states to help keep as many dogs as we can from entering our kill shelters.
