About Rusty looking for

Meet Rusty! This charming 6-year-old Chihuahua is ready for a fresh start in a loving home. Rusty may be blind in one eye, but that doesn’t hold him back; he gets around just fine and is eager to enjoy the comforts of family life. It takes Rusty some time to trust new people, but once you’re in his circle, he’s a loyal companion who loves to be near his humans. He prefers not to be picked up, valuing his space and boundaries, but he will reward your patience with affection. Rusty does well with dogs he knows, especially smaller ones. He came to us when his previous owner could no longer care for him, alongside his friends Lucy and Penny, though they don’t need to be adopted together. Having lost his first home, Rusty is looking for a family that will appreciate him just as he is. With your help, he can have a bright new chapter ahead. Ready to give Rusty the second chance he deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
