About Rusty

Rusty is a special boy who is looking for a home that can see beyond his handsome face. He is damaged and needs a home where he will be given understanding and compassion. Rusty is a gorgeous 7 year old , 18 pound, red purebred longhaired dachshund. Sadly, Rusty has been damaged and can be reactive to certain interactions and touches. He and his new family need to consult behavioural training to ensure that he will have a safe and happy life. Rusty has bitten. His bites have been triggered by unwanted touches and at times when he is feeling scared or unwell. Rusty gets along with respectful adults and other dogs. He should not interact with children under the age of 18 years. He is working on his leash training in his foster home in Maryland and he is house trained and crate trained. More than with most dogs, Rusty will need a substantial time for adjustment and decompression in his new home. Rusty loves to sleep in the big bed and he does enjoy playing with toys. Rusty loves car rides and enjoys walks and will happily accept touches to put his harness on because he knows that he will be doing something fun! Rusty will accept some pets but it has to be on his terms. Rusty is a special boy who needs a home that will understand him and be patient. Are you the one to give him a chance ?
