Meet Rusty!

  • 6 years old
  • Neutered male
  • Has done well with other dogs
  • Hasn't shown much interest in low-energy, lounging cats
  • No known experience children
  • Housetrained

I'm a loyal boy who just wants to be by your side. While you work, I'll chill out nearby, taking naps or enjoying a Kong. But when it's playtime, get ready for some epic zoomies in the yard—I'll run circles around you! I might not fetch balls, but I sure love chasing them. My ears are pretty expressive, too; they go up, down, and sideways whenever I hear something interesting. I'm a bit of an alarm barker, so I might not be the best fit for an apartment, but I'm great with other dogs and I haven't shown much interest in the low-energy cat I've met, but I do like chasing birds and chipmunks outside, so shelter staff isn't sure how I'd react to a more active feline. I'm also potty trained, know my basic commands, and I'm ready to find my new best friend!

I have been waiting a while to find my home so my adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take me home!

The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

Adoption Fee: decided by my adopter.
Rusty has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and received routine treatment for internal and external parasites. Rusty has tested negative for heartworm.
