Rusty is a hound mix in Hampton Bays, NY, who brings a lot of personality and heart. At around 1.5 years old, he’s a lively, smart dog with an affectionate streak. Rusty is social with both dogs and dog-savvy cats, fitting best in a home that already has other furry companions. He dealt with a tough early life, having been found on the streets with his siblings, but it’s clear he’s eager for a family to call his own. Despite some knee issues that require lifelong joint supplements, Rusty won’t let it hold him back—he enjoys romping around the yard with his friends and keeps up just fine. He responds quickly to training, enjoys a good laugh, and thrives on attention. His new home should be with adults or families with older teens, as the hustle and unpredictability of younger children is not the best fit for him. For those ready to offer patience, comfort, and love, Rusty will reward you with loyalty and plenty of fun. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
