About Rusty

Rusty is an adorable 12-week-old male Cardigan Welsh Corgi, embodying the spirit of this breed known for being a "big dog in a small package." With his striking merle coat and those captivating mismatched eyes, one green and one blue, he's hard to miss. Rusty is the largest pup in his litter, boasting a charming personality that’s as vibrant as his looks. He has a playful yet gentle demeanor and loves to curl up in cozy spots, although he can be a bit mischievous when it comes to waking up—watch your toes! This little guy is still learning, so it's essential for his forever home to have previous experience with working or herding breeds. Rusty’s herding instincts and playful mouthiness can be quite strong, so families with toddlers or very small children may not be the best fit. Early socialization outside of the home is crucial to help him build confidence. He gets along famously with other dogs and enjoys interactive play. Rusty will thrive in an environment where his boundaries are set with positivity and consistency. Remember, though, this little guy loves to be engaged! Adoption fee is $450, and he comes fixed, chipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Get ready to welcome this charming boy into your home!
