My story

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

Say hello to Rusty. We can’t be sure, but we think he is a Lhasa Apso / Maltese mix. Rusty is an adorable senior, about 12 yrs old that just lost his lifelong owner. Don’t let his age fool you. He still has lots of love to give. He currently weighs about 20 lbs, but is working on regaining his boyish figure. He does have a heart condition that will require daily medication for the rest of his life. This does not slow him down though.

Rusty is the typical senior, calm with small bursts of energy. Rusty really likes people and makes friends with everyone he meets. He is good with other dogs, likes to sit near you while watching TV and makes a very good house-mate. He is also very well mannered.

Rusty’s exercise needs are simple. He enjoys time in the fenced back yard with a maybe a couple of short walks a day. He also likes his stuffy toys, and will play with one for a while then take a well deserved rest. Rusty will follow you around the house—not pestering, just happy to be near you.

He is good with other dogs, but we haven’t seen Rusty around cats so we are not sure how he will react. He is a laid back kinda guy, so his reaction may depend on how the cat acts.

Rusty is up-to-date on shots, heartworm negative, neutered and currently on heartworm and flea preventatives. He is waiting for his loving, forever home. The adoption fee is being waived for the right home for this fantastic little guy.
