Good boy Rusty arrived Oct 2022, once in the shelter we could see someone wasn't caring for him properly. His skin appeared red and he was constantly itching, his legs started to stiffen in the rear; once we got him on an allergy regiment, and medication for his legs, he started to do much better. In Dec 2022, he went into a foster home where he continued to thrive. This sweet boy was doing much better in his foster home, and his skin is healing and he can enjoy himself. His foster home has decided they aren't going to fully adopt him, and unfortunately Rusty had to come back to the shelter and is now looking for his forever family. Rusty is a little over 7.5 yrs old, neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He is recommended to be in a home with teens (16 yrs old and up), At this time, Rusty would prefer to be the only pup in the home.
