About Rusty
Meet Rusty, your next loyal companion. This 4-year-old Chiweenie, a charming blend of Chihuahua and Dachshund, weighs in at a petite 12 pounds. Rusty is a smart and affectionate little guy who thrives on adult companionship; children and boisterous dogs tend to make him a bit anxious. He gets along well with his dachshund foster sisters, although they have a more laid-back relationship. Whether as a solo dog or with a mellow canine sibling, Rusty will flourish. Rusty shows signs of having had some formal training. He sticks to your side like glue, staying within six inches of your leg when you walk or explore. Treats motivate him, making training sessions a breeze. He knows commands like "Sit," "Down," and "Dance," and responds excellently when called. If you’re looking for a playful partner, Rusty enjoys games of catch, tug-of-war, and chase. Despite being a bit shy with newcomers, once Rusty warms up, he becomes the best friend anyone could ask for. He can be vocal when alerting you to important happenings, whether that’s a knock at the door or something unusual on TV. Rusty benefits from a safe, fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and catch some sun. His current foster home has him nearly house-trained, adapting quickly to routines. He feels secure without a crate, as he hasn’t shown any destructive tendencies. Rusty would thrive in a home where someone is often present. Fostered in Pacific, MO, Rusty is ready to find his forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
