Introducing Rusty, also known as RusRus, our adorably smooshy-faced, chunky, love bug. Rusty is the ultimate companion and a best friend to anyone lucky enough to have him. While we are looking for a home where Rusty can be the only furry member, we want to emphasize that he is not aggressive towards other dogs.
We rescued Rusty from animal control when he was found as a stray. His time at the shelter was challenging as he was placed in an overcrowded kennel with other dogs who caused him harm. Consequently, Rusty developed fear towards other dogs. However, with dedicated effort, we have worked on building his confidence, and he has made remarkable progress.
Are you seeking a best friend? Look no further! Rusty is the perfect companion for all your adventures. He absolutely loves going on walks, meeting new people, and even tagging along for trips to places like Home Depot. Rusty is remarkably intelligent and excels at walking nicely on a leash. He is also crate trained and responds well to commands and is eager to continue learning and training with his new family.
Rusty is a well-loved pup who truly deserves a forever family to call his own. The Ozzie Albies Foundation will provide ongoing support to ensure Rusty transitions smoothly into his new home.
