While he can be shy initially, Rusty warms up quickly and loves laying on the couch getting all the pets! He is lower energy but plays great with all dogs.
The optimal adopter for Rusty will be ready and willing to work with him on leash training and door dashing. The leash is still new and scary to him, and he completely refuses to move at times. While he is working through this, a home with a yard might be best as he loves to chase squirrels and other small critters. Rusty will also need a home with a focus on eliminating his door dashing. He has improved, but he still should be viewed as a flight risk as he has no recall when he dashes.
Rusty is house trained and crate trained. Great with dogs, he has not been exposed to cats; however, based on how he chases in the yard, it might not go well. He has done well with dog-savvy children. After some initial trepidation, he was very comfortable and allowed them to cuddle and give belly rubs!
Rusty is a sweet, gentle looking for that perfect family willing to work with him on some quirks, make him comfortable in their home, and receive a lifetime of love in return!
