A little about them
Hey, Rusty here! I'm a two-year-old, 40-pound athlete with a serious passion for fetch. I love my foster-home cushion, know my way around a house and stairs, and will happily retrieve a ball again and again—long after you're ready for a break.
Ideal Home
- An active family that enjoys staying on the move.
- I'm social and easygoing with dogs off leash, but I can have strong opinions about some unfamiliar dogs when I'm on leash.

Training & Support
- I already live in a house and know how to use stairs.
- A steady handler and treats help me manage my leash reactions around some stranger dogs.
- Bring a ball to our first meeting for an excellent introduction.
