A little about them
Rusty is a gentle, playful 2-year-old, 50-pound Cattle Dog mix who is making wonderful progress. He can be shy with new people and unfamiliar surroundings, but with patience and positive reinforcement, his sweet, silly personality is beginning to shine.
Ideal Home
Rusty enjoys playing with other dogs and would especially appreciate a confident canine friend. He would do best with older, dog-savvy children and an active, patient family willing to give him time to settle in and build trust.
He enjoys puzzle toys, chew toys, chicken treats, Squishmallows, and medium-energy activities. He does well with dogs and cats and responds to unfamiliar situations with avoidance rather than aggression.
Ongoing Health
Rusty is vaccinated and neutered. No medical conditions or health tests are reported.
Training & Support
Rusty walks nicely on leash and is making excellent progress with crate and potty training. He is smart, eager to learn, and responds well to patience and positive reinforcement.
Application Details

- Video meet-and-greets are available to help ensure a good fit.
Transportation
Safe transport can be coordinated for local or out-of-state adoptions.
