Rusty first got to AAC 403+ days ago, and his “Long Term Stay” badge on his profile is one that he would love to trade in for a forever home. Throughout this time, he stayed in a short term foster. We will share all of the foster’s notes with you when you come in, but a brief summary is that this family reported that he was exceptionally trained (never had an accident in the house), walks great on leash, and is a very quiet pup who can entertain himself with a bone, puzzle or chew toy for hours.

Rusty loves exercise and showing off his agility skills in the play yard. We have an agility play yard at AAC where Rusty can confidently jump through the course for treats and praise. Look through his pictures to see just how talented this guy is! Rusty’s treat motivation & natural skills with commands and agility will make him a quick learner when it comes to learning more tricks and commands with you.
Volunteers and Staff always note just how sweet Rusty is. He truly makes friends with everyone he meets. Rusty is affectionate and loves cuddles on the couch, and when it comes to walks he will frequently check in with his handler. Rusty is happiest with a bully stick, kong or stuffed toy. He can entertain himself for hours doing this!

Rusty has the potential to live with a well-matched dog - we'll be happy to set up a meet and greet to ensure compatibility on everyone’s end.

Will you be Rusty’s hero and help him get out of the shelter? This smart, athletic and friendly pup does not deserve to be in the shelter for another day.
