My story

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

Look. I'm not saying I'm a bed hog...I just like to stretch out crosswise, rearrange the pillows to my liking, then be snoring away by 8 pm.
A mature gentleman, Rusty loves the home life. Content to spend his days snoozing in his crate in the sun or learning new tricks, Rusty is a quiet companion, ready to wiggle into your home.
When out on walks, Rusty is learning the fine art of checking in for snacks instead of pulling. He'd love a yard or more practice on leash!
Rusty recently showed his good house manners in foster though he's back in the shelter now. Seniors deserve to be in a home-can you foster or adopt Rusty?
