A little about them
Meet Rusty, a 2-year-old, 50-pound Cattle Dog mix with a gentle soul, playful spirit, and plenty of potential. Rusty can be shy in new situations, but he is making wonderful progress as he learns to trust and enjoy life.
He is sweet, silly, quietly affectionate, and playful. Rusty enjoys other dogs, puzzle toys, chew toys, chicken treats, and the occasional Squishmallow. He responds to patience and positive reinforcement and is a rewarding dog to watch blossom.
Ideal Home
Rusty would thrive in an active, patient home that understands shy dogs and gives him time to settle in. He would especially enjoy living with a confident dog friend. He does well with dogs and cats and would do best with older, dog-savvy children who can move slowly while he warms up.
Ongoing Health
Rusty is vaccinated and neutered. No medical conditions are reported.
Training & Support
Rusty walks nicely on leash and is making great progress with crate and potty training. He is a quick learner and responds well to positive reinforcement. He may initially respond to unfamiliar people and environments with avoidance rather than aggression.
