About Trusty

Trusty is a true original with a big heart who tips the scales at nearly 70 lbs. Born under the sign of Taurus on April 29, 2020, Trusty carries all the calm loyalty you’d expect from a classic earth sign. He excels at lounging—napping could be his Olympic sport—and sticks close to his people all day, every day. Trusty is the type to trail through the house after you, quietly hanging out, or patiently waiting at the bathroom door. He will encourage nightly routines with a nudge, ensuring everyone gets their rest. Trusty enjoys peaceful walks and prefers quiet spaces, but makes up for any reserved energy with warmth at home. He’s got some quirks: a love of clean laundry, a habit of moving objects into his bed, and a special fondness for natural grass when it’s time to go out. When you come home, he’ll greet you at the door, tail wagging, sometimes with a little bark to confess some minor mischief while you were out. Affection is on his terms—he likes lap hugs and will show love when he’s comfortable. He gets along well with dogs and is especially respectful with adult cats, even sharing his water bowl—though kittens may need supervision to keep his tail safe. While Trusty isn’t much for fetch unless treats are involved, he brings easy company and an instantly calming vibe wherever he goes. He prefers homes without young kids. Most days, he just wants a soft mattress and someone to relax beside. Every animal brings something unique, but Trusty offers quiet, loyal companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
