My story

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

Hey there !
 My name is Rusty,  I'm a 7 year old Jack Russell terrier. I'm searching for my furever home at no fault of my own. The adult humans have mini humans now and they terrify me and I act out of fearful behavior. I'm not able to really shine in my environment or take my guard down. im an amazing dog and 100% your typical stubborn Jack russell. I love being outdoors in the summer and sun bathing, im not fond of the rain or this snow stuff we've had lately. Those days I am what mom calls "a couch potato ". I am currently living with a 10 year old fur brother who's a english shepherd. I think I'd love a home with no little humans, and if I could be the only dog or meet the dog to make sure I'm comfortable is more ideal. 2 years ago I was attacked by some big dogs, I thought they wanted to play but they weren't raised the same as me and it ended up with me being hospitalized for a few weeks. I had a long road of recovery but I made it ! Mom said that's just the breed I am, we're a fighter. I'm more fearful of new fur friends since this accident but mom tells me to keep a open mind and tries to relax me in any stressful situations. I love those treat puzzles , walks , running after rabbits in our yard, car rides, I love to howl and voice my opinion too. That's alittle bit about me , until next time
