About Rusty

Rusty is a lively 5-month-old Boston Terrier, weighing around 13.4 lbs. Rescued from a parking lot, he’s grown into a cuddly little companion who enjoys burrowing under blankets, playing tug-o-war, and chasing after other dogs. Although he might be a bit shy initially, he’s friendly and eager to meet new people. He’s crate trained and currently refining his house training skills with a dog door. Rusty is great with children and gets along with both large and small dogs. While he hasn’t interacted with cats yet, his friendly nature suggests he could adapt well. He’s learning commands like “sit” and walks nicely on a leash. If you're ready to provide Rusty with a loving forever home, please submit an application.
