Hi, I’m Rusty! You might think I’m a little rusty around the edge, but really, I’m just being polished for the perfect family. I’m about 2½ years old, around 70 pounds, and full of love, loyalty, and a little goofy charm. I absolutely thrive outdoors, long walks, new smells, sunshine, and fresh air are my favorite things. I walk beautifully on leash and stay right by your side, always tuned in and connected to my person. I’m a proud graduate of the Paws on the Block program through Foothill Dog Rescue. This special program pairs dogs like me with dedicated incarcerated handlers at Folsom State Prison, who help us build confidence, learn structure, and practice real-life skills so we’re ready to succeed in a home. Because of this experience, I’ve grown into a focused, thoughtful, and well-prepared companion. At home, I’m calm, affectionate, and easy to live with. I love cozy blankets, a good chew toy, and soaking up gentle pets and ear scratches. I would truly thrive in a home with women, where I feel especially safe, connected, and at ease. I’d also do best as the only dog in the home so I can soak up all the love and continue to succeed. I’m the kind of dog who becomes part of your everyday life, loyal, emotionally in tune, and always by your side. I’ve come so far, and now I’m just looking for someone who will see me, love me, and choose me for forever. I can’t wait to meet my person soon!
