Howdy from Texas. My name is Rusty, and I’m a very handsome 8-year-old, 16 lb, red wire-haired Dachshund mix, ready to hitch my wagon to an East Coast star! I was dumped in San Antonio, followed a man home who was walking his dog, and was invited to stay until my family was found. Unfortunately, nobody claimed me, and I had no identification. No biggie… I was posted on NexDoor, and 4 Little Paws reached out to take me. Now I’m living in a foster home, safe and sound, and having some fun while getting ready to find a forever home. I am now neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I also had my teeth cleaned. I’m ready to meet you with a big smile, showing off my pearly whites!
First and foremost, I’m a dog owner's dream. Cool, calm, and collected, I am friendly to all, quiet and well-behaved, housebroken, and sweet as can be! I adore people and laps, LOL! If you are looking for a lap dog, I’m your guy! I’m not kissy or slobbery, but I’m totally snuggly. I enjoy playing with squeaky toys and the company of other dogs, but I’m not really playful with them. I’m more of a greet them with my tail wagging to say hello sort of dog. My foster mom wants you to know that I love walks, and I have the most adorable happy bounce/trot with my tail held high like I’m the cheeriest little fella in town! I’m still a bit nervous going for a ride in the car, but if I’m in your lap, I’m on cloud 9. I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today!

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
