My name is Rusty!

Rusty is a 5-year-old neutered male who came to us as an owner surrender, Rusty was loved very much by his former family and had a wonderful life with them prior to coming to Peipeople. Rusty is standoffish with new people and would prefer a quiet home without children. He would benefit from socialization and basic obedience to build confidence and improve his leash skills as he was sheltered from the world previously. We have discovered he loves walks and keeps his nose plastered to the ground as he walks taking in all the smells.

When he meets new people, he will bark and avoid in typical shar pei style. He does warm up to women faster than men and after a few weeks with his foster family he has really bonded with both his foster mom and dad. He is fostered with 3 other dogs and is doing great! He does not seem interested in playing with them but does enjoy their company and loves when his foster mom chases him around the house. He gets very excited, and the zoomies come out!  He is house broken and figured out how to go out the dog door quickly.

When Rusty’s foster family must go out, they leave him loose in the house with the front curtains open so he can see the world and he spends hours looking out at his kingdom . We would love to find a home who will give Rusty the time to settle in and become the best friend we see! 

He is currently fostered in Fort Collins, CO
