Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RUSTY is a handsome 2½ year old retriever mix -- a sweet delight. This gentle, easy-going, 50-pound guy loves other dogs. He is very attuned to nature. . .sniffing the air for all the delightful scents coming his way.
Sweet Rusty is reserved and beautiful with his quirky ears, one up and one folded over. He is just beginning to know that people are caring, loving and can be trusted. His early years were filled with neglect and he has a new life now.
A short video with Rusty playing with his female doggie friend:

His perfect family includes another dog (s) and a family (best if no small children) who is willing to help him realize his greatness! This gentle fellow has the softest coat, the deepest eyes and a curiosity of all things around him. He is great on leash (LOVES GOING ON WALKS) and is a fast learner. He's a great car rider. He's crate trained, neutered and current on shots. If you'd like to find out more about Rusty, please contact me:
