About Rusty Redford
Meet Rusty Redford, a young Chow Chow who avoided euthanasia thanks to quick action by local rescue teams. Around a year old and medium-sized, Rusty brings the classic Chow charm—with his expressive face and signature tongue—but has a shorter coat that sets him apart. He’s crate-trained, calm, and affectionate, handling the adjustment to his foster home well. Rusty’s tolerant with most dogs but isn’t suitable for homes with cats; his compatibility with kids hasn’t been tested. An old injury leaves him with a slightly limited range of motion in a front leg, but it doesn’t slow him down. He handles life’s hurdles with resilience and doesn’t let the past define him. Rusty’s ready for a stable, loving adopter to give him the secure home he’s missed out on. He’s currently in temporary foster care in Las Cruces, NM, with transport available to Houston or nearby cities for an additional fee. Give Rusty the chance to settle in with a family of his own. Did you know? Born March 18, Rusty’s a Pisces—typically known for their gentle and intuitive nature. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
