My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

NTRODUCING RUSTY
Rusty is a beautiful boy. He is 10 years old and neutered. We did a dental on him as well. His blood work came back good and he's ready to go . He's just a little guy too!
Rusty is about 10 -12 years old. He is low thyroid so he takes 0.2 thyroid medicine twice a day. His fur is thin but will improve with the thyroid medicine. He is pretty much a loner.
He prefers being alone in his cuddle cup in the kitchen to being with people or the other dogs. He gets along with other dogs and cats. I don't know about getting along with children, but I doubt that would be a problem. He is very gentle and doesn't jump on people. He is housebroken. He does OK when walking on a leash, but he does like to make numerous stops. lol
He doesn't particularly like to be held or cuddled. He does like to have his back rubbed. He is not very active, but will play a little at times. I hope that once he has his own forever home he will come out of his shell. I've only had Rusty for a month and he is still adjusting to his new environment.
