Rusty is fairly new to Bonaparte's Retreat and we are all already OBSESSED with him! What we know about him is that his owner passed away and he was extremely sad and confused in the shelter, but has already warmed up with us so we are so glad to see that! He seems good with other dogs and was tested with cats before he came to use and did well. He is very overweight and needs to lose probably around 20lbs so his new family must be on board with continuing on his weight loss journey because it seems to be negatively affecting his ability to walk any distance, etc.
Rusty was seen by the vet and thankfully they do not think his walking issues stem from an injury or issue, but from having to deal with the large amount of extra weight that he carries. We are also checking his thyroid but we believe he does have thyroid meds so will start him on meds for that.
Rusty is just an incredibly sweet guy but needs some extra help with his wellness journey but he is definitely ready to find his forever home!
