My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dusty is a 5 year old little silky haired terrier that would just love to go to a wonderful home, where he belongs. He came to us from our Newark facility after he was turned in because his family was moving and couldn't take him along. When Dusty arrived, we really didn't know what to make of him. He was completely frozen with fear. The poor guy seemed to never have been out of his element before and he was just so shy and scared. With a little TLC and patience, Dusty has blossomed into a sweet and loving little guy and he is really letting his true personality show now. Dusty was a bit overgrown and neglected when he arrived. He actually has long, silky, two-toned hair but unfortunately, that all had to come off due to severe matting. Wait till you see him when it all grows in! In the meantime, his personality is just beautiful, so that's all that matters. He's a great little guy that is curious and happy to explore his new surroundings. He makes friends easily and has a warm, easy going personality. Dusty gets along just fine with both dogs and cats, and if you give him a minute to get to know you, he'll just love you. Dusty is ready to meet a family that will love him forever and never let him go. File#26792 10/22/16
