This is Rusty, a handsome young chow mix who narrowly escaped euthanasia at the shelter due to a minor health issue. Thanks to the dedication of local rescue teams, Rusty is safe and ready to find his forever home. About Rusty: Age: Approximately 1 year Weight: 50 lbs (just needs a few extra pounds) Temperament: Calm, affectionate, and people-loving. He's been crate-trained and adjusts well to his temporary home. Dog-friendly: Yes, with most dogs. Not cat-friendly. Kid compatibility not tested. Special Notes: Rusty has a shorter coat than a typical chow, but he rocks the classic chow expression and tongue! He has a slightly limited range of motion in one front leg due to an old injury, but it doesn't slow him down. Rusty has faced more than his share of challenges, but he's proving to be resilient, sweet, and loving every step of the way. He's currently in temporary care and ready to meet the family who will give him the love he deserves. **Rusty is being fostered in Las Cruces, NM. Paid transport can be arranged.
