Story

The dog had been wondering in our neighborhood for a month or more. I thought he belonged to someone he wasn’t terribly thin. I was watching him while I was driving the neighborhood and my car and noticed he was trying to lick snow off the ground and getting in trash cans, trying to get in them at least and then he started eating a paper towel that had fell out of the garbage can. I realized he was starving and dying of thirst he ran into a backyard and there was a man there. I asked him if it was his dog and he said yes he had been wondering what to do with him because he couldn’t afford to take care of him. I ask him if he realized the dog was starving. He said he couldn’t take care of it. I told him I would give him $60 if he would give me the dog and I would make sure it got a good home. I brought the dog home. He was so dehydrated. He was slobbering all over. I had to limit his water to every 15 to 20 minutes and small amounts. He was starving so I had to feed him rice and chicken

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

This is Rusty he was brought to us by a friend as a temporary situation which turned into permanent/long term. He was found abused and chained up outside without food or water. We rehabilitated him back to healthy and gave him a good doggie life for the last 1.5 year. However, we have moved to a smaller home and no yard for him to run freely. He is a good dog but needs more attention as he loves people. He is crate trained and stays in one while we work or leave the house as he doesn't like being alone. He is house trained but still likes to chew when no one is looking. He does fine when he has toys and bones. Very loving and affectionate we just simply dont have the time or space for him anymore sadly and would like to find him a good home.
