My story

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

(Application opens in a new browser window.)

10 year old Rusty is very nice gentleman that came to us from a shelter in central Virginia when his owner went into a nursing home.He is very friendly and made himself right at home shortly after he arrived. They said he was 10 but it seems like he may be a little younger. This little guy, at 12 pounds, is quiet and gets along with dogs and cats, and his profile states that he gets along with children as well.

Rusty is blind in one eye but that does not slow him down. He is current on core vaccinations and resently was neutered and had a dental. He is a healthy little guy and is ready to go to his new home.
