Meet Rusty! 🌟 This delightful mini Poodle has had a rocky start, but he’s eager to bounce back, ready to bring sunshine into a loving home. Imagine a little bundle of joy, timid at first, but once he warms up, he’ll be your affectionate buddy in no time! Rusty is a real sweetheart; all he needs is a patient owner who can help him trust again. He thrives best in a quieter home, as loud noises can make him jumpy, so adults only, please! Imagine cuddling up with Rusty as he timidly approaches you, then suddenly blossoms into a loving mush! 🥰 But remember, he’s not just looking for any home—Rusty requires companionship from another small dog to keep his spirits high and a fenced yard, whether it’s a cozy patio or simply enough space to explore safely. No need for a huge yard, just a safe little haven for him to play! 🌈 Now, let’s talk about the incredible resilience of this little guy. Rusty faced a tough challenge with a health condition called strangles, suffering tremendously and even spending weeks hospitalized. But don’t worry—he has bounced back remarkably! With a clean bill of health and a fresh neuter under his belt, he is now ready to steal someone's heart. For those interested in adopting this charming lad, please keep in mind that you’ll need to be over 25 years old and provide vet references, groomer recommendations, and personal references, plus a home visit is required. Rusty is waiting for a forever home where he can feel safe and cherished. Are you ready to be that person? ☺️ *Remember to apply through the Buddy App to take the first step in welcoming Rusty into your heart and home!*
