My story

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

Rusty is 8 years old. He is very chill in some ways. His hobbies include sleeping and laying in the grass outside. He absolutely loves snow and will bulldoze through it at top speed. He is an anxious little guy in other ways however. He is mostly well controlled on medication. He will need a patient and experienced family (maybe no kids). Doesn't want to cuddle much or be around us. He does protect me (one of two moms) and get activated by people coming and going. Has not been around other dogs/cats here (barks at neighborhood dogs). Reacts strongly to noises outside/people walking by.

He came to our family 2 years ago in pretty rough shape - severe fleas, underweight, accidents. We have provided a good home for him, but he is not thriving with our young, busy family. We meet his basic needs and he tolerates us in return.

He is healthy and vetted. On Rachael Ray small bites food. Completely house trained. Low exercise needs. Kennels well (I WFH so it's limited).
