About Dusty

Dusty is ready to start a new chapter in his life after a tough beginning. Rescued from a tragic situation where he was hit by a car, he's currently healing from a leg injury but is proving to be a wonderful patient. Crate rest is part of his routine, and he can’t wait to resume playtime with friends once he’s fully healed. Dusty is about 20 pounds, neutered, and up to date on his vaccinations. His friendly demeanor shines, especially with other dogs, but we’re not sure how he feels about cats or kids. Dusty has excellent manners, going right to the door for his potty breaks and keeping his crate clean.
