About Dusty

Dusty is a young, energetic dog looking for his forever home. He thrives as the only pet, as he tends to be a bit pushy and struggles with social cues, having lived with another dog in the past. Although he has coexisted with cats, he prefers they keep their distance. Kids are his joy, but his excitement can sometimes lead to accidental knocks, so a home with older children might be best. Dusty gets nervous around cars and is known to climb over 4-foot fences, which is something potential adopters should consider. With the right guidance and space, Dusty will bring a lot of love and life to his new home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
