Rusty is out to steal your heart. At about two years old, this medium-sized hound mix radiates energy and warmth, always looking for someone ready to match his playful spirit. He’s the kind of dog who’s quick to charm a room—funny and outgoing, then sweet and soft when things quiet down. Rusty genuinely enjoys company and would thrive in a home that includes another friendly dog, and he even gets along with cats who know how to handle a canine housemate. He’s a fast learner, smart and eager to please, especially if it means some praise or a moment to show off a new trick. After a tough start on the streets of South Texas, he hasn’t lost his zest for life, and he still trusts people. Most of his peers have already been adopted; Rusty just needs the right person or family, ideally with teenagers or adults, where he can settle in, get the love he deserves, and have some fun. Bring Rusty home and see firsthand why those who meet him can’t help but fall for him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
