My story

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

Meet Rusty, a charming 12-year-old Labrador mix who's looking for his forever home! At around 50 pounds, Rusty may have a few extra pounds to shed, but he's still full of love and life. This lovable senior enjoys exploring his foster home's fenced yard and going for leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. While long hikes might be behind him, Rusty still has bursts of playful energy that will warm your heart. He can frequently be found chasing his tail during his energy bursts!

Rusty is an easygoing companion who gets along well with the small dogs and cat in his foster home. Though he hasn't met children yet, he's likely to be just as gentle and friendly with them. Rusty isn't too interested in toys but adores being petted and snuggling up in a cozy dog bed. He loves nothing more than a sunny spot by the window or a comfortable nap in one of many dog beds in his foster home.

Potty trained and familiar with basic commands, Rusty is also learning to wait calmly at doorways instead of bolting through them. While he isn't crated in his foster home, he's likely to handle being in a kennel just fine. Described by his foster as sweet, perfect, and handsome, Rusty is a wonderful blend of laid-back and lively. He would love a home where someone can be with him most of the day, even if it's just to lounge on the couch while you're working.

Rusty may be an older gentleman with some arthritis tendencies, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying life! He still loves going on walks and running around the backyard, though he might need shorter strolls and a gentle reminder to take it easy during his zoomies.

Rusty is available for adoption, but he has a dental cleaning scheduled in October with our partner vet. Until then, he's eligible for a foster-to-adopt arrangement, allowing him to settle into his new home while waiting for his dental care to be completed. Once his dental is finished, the adoption can be finalized.

If you're searching for a moderately active dog who can also be a top-notch couch potato, Rusty is your guy. Apply now and give this delightful senior the chance to brighten your life!

Adopting from HEA

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS:
Adoption is a huge deal to us. We make a lifetime guarantee to our companions. In return, we’re asking you to provide a lifetime commitment once you’ve invited a pet to join your family. We’re excited that you're considering adoption. We look forward to working with you to find the right match!

TIMELINE:
Our primary objective is to assure the correct match for the people and the pets that we’re sending to their forever homes. Our goal is to send dogs and cats home as quickly as we can, while still being thorough. Processing times will vary and are largely dependent on our ability to connect with your references, landlord, and veterinarian. To keep the process moving along, please make sure you’ve done your part:
1) Fill out your application completely - missing information slows down the process.
2) Let your references know to expect our call.
3) If you rent, let your landlord know to expect our call.
4) If you currently have pets, ask your veterinarian to be prepared to release your records.

LIFETIME GUARANTEE:
We make a pact with every animal that enters our care: They’re promised a loving home for the rest of their life. In turn, when you make the commitment to adopt, we ask you to make a lifetime commitment. We believe family is forever.
