My story

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

Rusty is a 4-year-old happy, goofy, and loyal companion who loves routine and being with his people. He is looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and be part of the pack. He would thrive with someone who enjoys spending time outdoors. He enjoys quick, positive play/training sessions to keep his mind active. Though affectionate and loyal, Rusty also values his alone time and likes to have a quiet space to rest. He must be placed in an adult-only home; he cannot live with children or teens and should not be around visiting children, as he has shown reactivity toward them. He should be with someone who understands his boundaries and can provide a calm, structured environment. He is fully house-trained and well-behaved indoors- no accidents or destructive behavior. Rusty can comfortably stay home alone during a typical workday, free-roaming, and spends much of that time sleeping. Rusty is selective with other dogs and does best with calm, confident female dogs.
