Age: 1.5 y/o Weight: 61 lbs. Good with Dogs? Yes! Good with Cats? Unknown Good with Kids? Unknown Rusty is a 1.5-year-old Rottweiler mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! He’s outgoing, friendly, and playful, and he truly loves everyone he meets. Rusty is the kind of dog who greets the world with a wagging tail and contagious enthusiasm. This handsome guy is very dog-friendly and enjoys interacting with other pups. He thrives on playtime, attention, and being part of the action. Rusty walks well on a leash overall, but when he gets excited, he may pull; he’s still working on learning to channel his excitement more politely. With continued training and consistency, he’ll only get better. Rusty would do great in an active home that can keep up with his energy and continue reinforcing good leash manners. He’s eager to learn, loves engagement, and would make an excellent companion for someone looking for a fun, affectionate, and social dog. Interested in adopting?
