My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Rusty and his siblings were saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend.

Health & Background
✅ Neutered
✅ Rabies and core vaccines up to date
✅ On monthly flea/tick preventatives
✅ Microchipped
⚖️ Weight: 6 lbs (mid July)
Estimated DoB: 23 May 2025

What Rusty Needs

Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities
️ High-quality food and treats to keep him healthy and energized
Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health
❤️ Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust
