Howdy! My name is Rusty and all I want for Christmas is a forever home! In many ways I am a man of mystery. No one knows how old I am and I have a little gray in my muzzle so the guess is 5-7. I love my toys and playing so its safe to say I am young at heart. I get along well with my hound siblings and will go in my kennel all by myself when its time for breakfast. I don’t even bark at night when its time for bed (also in my kennel) Too I’m sure I would love to snuggle with you if you need me. My mom says I am a Velcro-basset- which probably explains the colorful language she used on several occasions when she didn’t realize I was sticking close by. I’ve got her trained now to look before she makes a move in the kitchen! If I don’t get to be with you all the time, I do tend to complain for a bit, but eventually I get used to the idea. Mom is working on putting few more pounds on me. I may be short but I will be a good size hound when I’m “finished”(55 pounds or so). I am UTD on all vaccinations, HW tested negative and altered. Feel free to contact Jessica for more about me or to come and say hello! Please contact Jessica for more information at
