Yes, it’s true . . . Rusty with his beautiful fox red coat is truly this adorable in person! He’s about six month old and cuddly 45 pounds of puppy love. Somehow or other he ended up as a stray little guy all on his own out in the big world. Fortunately, he came into the care of one of our favorite and most caring rescue partners.
Rusty’s foster family quickly grew fond of this gentle little guy. His foster mom tells us:
“He’s house trained, crate trained and sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He is a polite greeter, and everyone that meets him can’t believe how calm and gentle he is. Walks well on a leash, and loves to explore and sniff as he goes. Meets other dogs politely and with enthusiasm. He IS in the exploring and chewing stage so a sharp eye and maybe a baby gate here or there would be wise, as would be a supply of approved chewable. Plays with his squeaky toys constantly and fetches a bit, but just beginning.
“In a nutshell, Rusty is just a sweet, playful and very special puppy!!”
NOTE: Rusty will only be placed in a home with: (1) adults or older children who can treat a dog with kindness and respect, and (2) one that clearly has the dedication and substantial time throughout the day to devote to raising a puppy to responsible adulthood.
