Rusty

My story

Apply to Adopt Me! Rusty is just the most precious boy! He is around 2yo and weighs 17lbs. With his long but stout body and beautiful red coat, he may be a long-hair dachshund mix. Rusty loves the company of other dogs, kitties and adults. We haven’t seen him with kids but suspect he would do well with them too. He loves snuggling and is very food motivated. He rides well in a car, but best in a crate for longer distances. He's just an all-around fun guy and will bring joy to you every day. Rusty is crate-trained and will sleep in his crate, but he loves to sleep in the human bed too! Rusty will likely mark when in a new environment and has had some potty accidents while in foster care. We are still working to get him totally potty trained, but he’s a smart boy and we feel this will continue to improve. We prefer a fenced yard, or someone who can provide him with lots of exercise and a place to run and burn off his energy. He will also do best with another young playful dog in his forever home. He's not interested yet in playing with toys, but will chase one if thrown. And he's not a big barker, just chiming in if the other dogs bark. He is a great balance of playful and relaxed, wrestling and then napping with his foster siblings throughout the day. He wants to be as close to you as possible and likes to show affection with gentle kisses.
