Adopted

Rusty came to us from a family who couldn’t handle this pup’s rough and tumble “Hey! Let’s play ALL DAY!” disposition. When we brought him home, he ran right up to his new foster brother, Simon (who by the way looks like he should be named Rusty!), and within about 5 seconds they were chasing each other through the backyard and playing to beat the band. So much for slow and easy doggie introductions! Right off the bat, Rusty was able to bring out the playful side of Simon and before we knew it they were completely inseparable. It was clear from day one, that Rusty wouldn’t be leaving our household. Who could resist that smile? That spunk? That charming little bounce in every step?!

Rusty had spent the better part of his young life in a backyard. He clearly was one smart little cookie, but didn’t know how to direct his energy and eagerness to explore. Several household items were explored by his teeth! We quickly enrolled him in Obedience Training and not surprisingly he was the star of the class. All it took was some direction and this crazy, wildchild not only took 1st place, but became a model doggie citizen. Good boy, Rusty!

In addition to playing with Simon and all of the other dogs in the neighborhood (oh, he’s a social guy), Rusty enjoys watching other dogs on the TV. He especially likes to watch the Field Trials. I think he dreams of retrieving those ducks himself. He loves to swim, go for long walks, play with all of his toys, but most especially – he loves to play with Simon.
