A little about them

Rusty is a resilient 2-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who weighs 57 pounds and is ready for his forever home. He is friendly, active, affectionate, playful, and loves water. After surgery to remove an eye growth, his vision was restored, the growth was not cancer, and he has healed.
