Story
This handsome boy is Rusty. He was rescued from a dangerous situation and placed in a loving foster home, where he grew from a tiny pup into a big, strong, gorgeous boy! Rusty has a nice, thick coat, perfect for the colder climates, and his brindle markings give him a unique look. Although he is a big boy, he is still very much a pup and has that puppy energy and excitement towards life. His agility and climbing skills would make him an excellent hiking buddy, or perhaps he can try some agility courses. He is very smart and eager to please, so he would do great with some one-on-one basic obedience training. He is ready, willing and able to go for walks or rides and just wants to explore the outdoors. Rusty has lived in a foster home with older dogs and foster puppies, so he gets along with all dogs, but he would do best with a more mellow or submissive companion who would enjoy a playful romp. He is a very good puppy babysitter though! He loves to play and loves squeaky toys best of all. Rusty is an affectionate dog who loves to cuddle and give kisses. He is crate trained, but being in his crate is not his favorite thing; he's much rather be with you! He really is a great big cuddle bug. Rusty would love to have an active family of his very own; he is a strong boy who will gladly serve as your very own personal trainer, security officer and best friend, all in one furry package! Rusty is located in Texas and will be transported to his new home. He is neutered, fully vetted and microchipped.
