Dusty

To err is human, to forgive canine. If ever there was a dog who embodied that saying, its Dusty. This happy-go-lucky Cocker Spaniel simply radiates joy, no matter what life throws his way. Recently surrendered because his family had to move and he wasn't part of the plan, Dusty has every reason to be sad. Instead, he chooses to look ahead with a wagging tail and an open heart. Losing your family is difficult at any age, but especially when you're 10 years old. Dusty, however, isn't dwelling on the past. He's all about second chances and can't wait to be part of a family again. And while he may technically be a senior, nobody seems to have told him that! Dusty is active, enthusiastic, and ready for plenty of adventures with his future family.

Ideal Home

Dusty is not suited to condo or apartment living because he enjoys the sound of his own voice and will happily alert you to deliveries, passing visitors, or the occasional squirrel conducting suspicious activities in the yard. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal, especially since he loves being outdoors, rolling in the grass, and supervising gardening projects.

Ongoing Health

Dusty recently tested positive for Anaplasmosis, a tick-borne illness. The good news is that he shows no symptoms. He is currently on a one-month course of medication and will require a follow-up blood test afterward.

Training & Support

Dusty could use a little help with his leash manners, as he prefers to charge ahead and drag his human along for the ride. It's never too late to learn a few new tricks!
