About Rusty

Meet Rusty - Your Loyal Backyard Buddy and Home Companion Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 2-3 Years Old Rescue Date: November 12, 2024 Neutered, Vaccinated, and Ready for His Forever Home! Rusty's story is one of quiet resilience. After spending nearly a year living under a deck as a stray, he was rescued on 11/12/24 and has since blossomed in his foster home. This handsome German Shepherd mix is now house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and understands basic commands. While he's still getting the hang of crate training, Rusty is always calm, trustworthy, and well-mannered when given free roam of the house. Rusty is happiest when he's near his people. Whether you're gardening, tinkering in the yard, or relaxing on your patio or deck, he'll be right there with you-loyal and content. He thrives on kindness and affection and gives it back tenfold. He also enjoys gentle play with other dogs, especially romping around with his large foster sibling, and loves being brushed, going for car rides, and taking short, leisurely walks. Rusty is a sweet and gentle soul who has been kind around children. He's patient, friendly, and loves to be part of family life-whether that means tagging along on outdoor adventures or quietly laying nearby while watching kids play. He's the kind of dog who fits right in, offering a steady, loving presence. Rusty would do best in a home with a fenced yard and humans who enjoy the outdoors as much as he does. But don't let his active, outdoor-loving side fool you-he's just as happy to curl up and relax whenever his people are ready to unwind. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion to share your space and your heart, Rusty may be the perfect match. Experience with the German Shepherd breed and an understanding of their unique personality and needs is highly recommended. Come meet Rusty-and let him steal your heart!
