Description

Say a little prayer for Rusty. This handsome boy is a recent breeder relinquishment. He’s scared as can be, skittish, and overwhelmed. He is in his foster home, and they’re going slow with him. We’ll report back on his progress, we’re confident he’ll adjust.

Foster Updates

May 4, 2026
Hi, I’m Rusty. While I am still figuring things out in my new foster home, I really, really love being outside with my dog friends, it’s my favorite place to run, play, and feel like I belong. Sometimes the world feels a little scary, especially when there are loud noises or quick movements, & while I might flinch or retreat to my bed, I’m trying my best to be brave every day. What I do know for sure is that I love giving kisses and soaking up all the pets I can get from my foster parents. I’m also learning how to walk on a leash, one step at a time. Even though it’s new for me, I’m starting to understand that it means more chances to explore and be with my people.
