Meet Rusty, a spirited two-year-old fellow hailing from Coachella, CA. Weighing in at around forty pounds, he's the perfect medium-sized dog that's just the right fit for your couch. Rusty is an athletic guy with a love for the outdoors, making games of fetch his favorite pastime. His enthusiasm for the ball is infectious; he's known to bring it back over and over, always surprised that you're throwing it again, and he guarantees you’ll tire out long before he does. Rusty excels in social situations. Off-leash, he’s the ultimate team player, adapting his energy to match those around him and handling park dynamics like a pro. However, he can be a tad opinionated on a leash, particularly when faced with strangers. Steady hands and treats can help him navigate those encounters smoothly. As for cats, he hasn't met one yet, but he's open to the idea if given the opportunity. Rusty thrives in an active household that loves to move. He knows his way around a home, including stairs, and is eager to engage with a family that enjoys keeping busy. To win him over, just bring a ball to your first meeting — any kind will do.
