Rusty narrowly escaped a grim fate and has come out the other side with serious resilience. His story takes a hopeful turn: after having a growth surgically removed from his eye, tests showed it wasn’t cancer and his recovery has brought out even more spirit in him. At about 2 years old, Rusty is a high energy, red-and-white Vizsla mix who loves water, handles car rides like a pro, and perks up for adventures. He’s friendly, affectionate with his people, and quick to pick up on commands like "sit" and "no." Leash walks and active outings seem to suit him best. Rusty's selective with dogs, especially males, so he'd thrive as the only pet in an active household. He hasn’t been tested with cats, but he gets along with children. Rusty isn’t fully house trained yet, but he’s already neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a family willing to help him keep growing in the right direction. Ready to meet your new best friend?
