Meet Rusty, a dashing 3-year-old hound mix whose zest for life is as robust as his charming personality! 🌟 This delightful boy has an incredible heart, and let’s just say—he’s on the quest for a calm, secure home where he can truly unwind and be himself. Rusty’s adventurous spirit first led him to us as a stray, but after being adopted, he found himself back in our care due to playful puppy-like antics that require some patience and guidance. Now, he’s eager for a loving family who understands his unique needs. Are you ready for a whirlwind of excitement? Well, you’ll find that Rusty can be somewhat of a ‘jumpy’ and ‘mouthy’ social butterfly, showcasing his enthusiasm by bouncing around and expressing joy in a rather exuberant manner. 🎉 It’s all love, but he’s still learning those all-important manners! You might call him an escape artist too! 🏃‍♂️ Due to his sensitivity and high anxiety, Rusty has a habit of trying to make a dash for it when startled. It’s not out of mischief, sweet friends; it’s just his way of coping with loud noises. Therefore, his new family needs to ensure they provide a securely fenced yard and closely supervise him outdoors. Imagine a world where every backyard is a paradise just for Rusty—where he can frolic without fear! Dog lovers, listen up! Rusty is dog-selective and may not get along with every pup. He’s shown that he can be quite reactive on a leash, so it’s crucial that potential adopters bring along any resident dogs for a meet-and-greet before taking Rusty home. Ideally, he’d thrive as the only pet—less competition means less stress for our sensitive Rusty! 🥰 This pup is like a rare gem! All he really needs is a tranquil environment, a sprinkle of patience, and consistent love to flourish. If you can be the safe haven Rusty has been dreaming of, he’s ready to meet you! To adopt or foster this lovable boy, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! He’s looking for his forever family, which could very well be you! Don’t wait too long because he’s eager to find his place in a loving home! 🌈🐾
