My story

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

This is Rusty! He’s a 10 year old Australian shepherd male. Overall he’s a very good boy. We have a toddler that loves to explore and is a little too rough with rusty. He has gotten irritated and tried nibbling at her. We’ve decided the best thing to do is find a new home for him. Among other things, we think it’s best for him to go to a home with old kids that won’t push him or interrupt his feeding time. He usually does well with other dogs that aren’t too hyper. Sometimes he will bark/growl at dogs that don’t play with him gently. He gets very excited with small animals so I don’t recommend him going to home with those. He has bitten me and my boyfriend while we tried to restrain him from going outside while a stranger was at the door. I will update his vaccines. I usually have him groomed also.
