About Rusco

Rusco is a nearly 4-year-old, 12-pound Cockapoo mix looking for his forever home. This charming little guy gets along well with both dogs and cats, and he would thrive best in a household with at least one other friendly dog around his size. While he’s still perfecting his potty training, he’s been making strides and is comfortable wearing a belly band when needed. Rusco loves to cuddle in laps and can sometimes whine or bark when in his kennel, so a loving, attentive environment is key. He’s eager to join you on walks and is getting the hang of leash manners. If your home is mostly occupied, has a fenced yard, and you’re ready to shower this playful pup with affection, completing an application could be the first step to bringing Rusco into your life. His adoption fee of $150 covers his spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip. He’s ready for a committed family who understands that pets are part of the family, not just companions. Ready to meet Rusco? Your new best friend is just one click away.
