Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

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


We found Rusty tied to a barbed wire fence. He was hidden down a small hill, not easily seen. The rope was tied so tight that it was choking him. We believe that he was left there in hopes that other dogs would fight and kill him. He was skin and bones and very scared. It took three of us to get him loose. Once he felt safe, he slept for 4 days. Probably the most sleep he's had since he was a newborn puppy.

Now happy, healthy, and ready for a forever home! He loves walks, chew toys, and especially playing with other dogs! He also is a great best friend!
I will travel as far as LA.
