Story
Rusty is about 2 years old, 15kg, Neutered male, English Setter mix! Rusty just has been rescued from a high-risk shelter where he was on the euthanasia list. He was brought in after being reported by a local resident. When found, he was wearing a yellow collar, suggesting he may have been kept tied up in a yard or at a factory rather than living inside a home. Rusty is very affectionate—not only with familiar people but also with strangers. He happily approaches people, enjoys physical contact, and is easy to handle. He is comfortable with both women and men. Although he hasn’t interacted with children under 13, he shows no fear or wariness toward people, so he’s likely to get along well with younger kids too. He allows people to lift him by placing their arms under his belly and, once he’s comfortable, even shows his belly. He’s curious about other dogs, but it seems he hasn’t had much experience playing with them. When other dogs approach him to play, he initially seems unsure and simply wags his tail, but after some time, he begins to run around and join in. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes—larger, similar-sized, and smaller—and tends to avoid overly energetic dogs. Even when other dogs are reactive or challenging, he remains calm and non-confrontational. He hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but that can be arranged if needed. Rusty has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities but knows how to settle down and rest quietly afterward. He has no fear of the leash, but it seems he hasn’t had much leash-walking experience. He tends to stop and sniff often and pulls a bit toward where he wants to go. That said, he generally follows people well and is not reactive to noise. Rusty does not guard food from people or other dogs. He does not show signs of separation anxiety and is quiet and calm in a kennel. He rarely barks. As he was only recently rescued, he does not yet respond to his name and has not learned basic cues like “sit” or making eye contact. However, he’s a sweet, people-loving dog with a gentle nature, and we hope he finds a guardian who can show him a better world and help him grow.

She’s ready to bring joy, playfulness, and love into a forever home of her own.
