If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.wiseanimalrescue.org/adoption-application!

Name: Rusty

Breed: Miniature Pinscher

Weight: approximately 10 lbs

Age: 1 year old

Personality: Rusty had a rough start to life, but despite this he is a loving, cuddle bug! Once he comes out of his shell, he could snuggle and play with you all day! He loves toys and carrying them around to show them off. He enjoys being around other dogs and is always looking to instigate playtime.

Home recommendation: Rusty had a rough life before being rescued. He needs a patient family who will shower him in love and continue to socialize him. He can be nervous at times so a quiet home would be best suited. Rusty must go to a home with another dog.

Kids: 13+

Dogs: Yes! He enjoys the company of other dogs whether its to take a nap together or play

Cats: Unknown, we will only cat test for an approved adopter.

Crate Trained: Rusty is not being crated in his foster home and is not destructive when left alone

House Trained: Working on it!

Leash Manners: Rusty has never been walked on a leash and Is still learning. He prefers to explore the backyard but we are hoping his forever home can teach him how to strut his stuff down the block.

Training: Rusty is nervous but curious around new people. It takes time to gain his trust, but once you do he will be your best friend! He will need a home who will continue to provide him with socialization and basic training. He loves treats!

Why did he come to WISE?: Rusty was rejected by a pet shop and was to be returned to the mill where he was destined to be destroyed. WISE wasn't going to let that happen and took him into our program.
