Description:

Meet Rusty!

Rusty was rescued from a high kill shelter and is coming to MARS in search of a new forever home. He is described as the "quintessential lapdog" by shelter workers. He's sure to make a great companion!

Update from foster home:
Rusty is a great boy!

He enjoys hanging out doing whatever you're doing. He's helped garden, fix furniture in the garage, and fold laundry. He's not at you for attention but is ready to go once a game plan has been decided on! He rides well in the car, crates well when we're gone, and sometimes prefers breakfast in bed!

Playtime is his favorite - soft squeaky toys are a must! He's careful not to destroy them.... paperboard boxes & paper towel tubes however are fair game!

Walks are always entertaining - he makes us laugh continuously! He darts around picking up leaves sticks, pine cones, whatever he can find to play with along the way! He's quite the little speedster too at the dog park according to his previous foster!

His cute under-bite and left ear that flops down occasionally make him so special - we hope you think so too! And those amber eyes looking up at you - irresistable!

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
