About Poodle Miniature Rusty

Rusty is a young, charming red Miniature Poodle who has made remarkable strides in foster care. Learning to trust people is a journey for him, but you can see him blossom with love and patience. Rusty adores human attention, enjoys being close, and is beginning to establish healthy boundaries for seeking affection. As he gains confidence, Rusty has even started to find his voice, proudly alerting his family to neighborhood happenings. He's almost fully house-trained, although he may have the occasional accident during moments of anxiety. His foster family has had success using a belly band to manage this, which has made a significant difference. Rusty thrives in a calm environment, preferably with a securely fenced backyard where he can explore safely. While he's still becoming accustomed to walking on a leash, his foster family is diligently helping him build that confidence. He would fit best in a loving home with older children (10+) who understand his gentle nature. If you're willing to invest the time to help him overcome his fears, Rusty will reward you with a loyal and affectionate companionship. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
