Rusty is a sweet terrier-mix with a very sunny personality! He was found running around a Walmart parking lot all by his lonesome. A good Samaritan picked him and up and brought him to AJL where he has been living happily in a foster home for the past couple of months. Rusty is tri-colored; mostly black with tan feet and ears and a scruffy white chest. His 8-year-old human foster sister calls him “Ruffessor Rusty.” Rusty is a really happy puppy with a gentle nature. He’s very playful and energetic (he’s a terrier after all!). He loves playing with his puppy brother (9-year-old poodle) and sister (2-year-old pitbull) and with all the toys! He has already mastered fetch it and drop it. and he comes when called and sits most of the time. Rusty would love to be in a forever home with or without children to play with. He also would do fine either with or without other dogs. What he definitely needs is a family who can give him a lot of attention and exercise so he doesn’t find ways of keeping himself occupied (cue digging holes in the yard). He is very easy to train and enjoys pleasing his human. He is in the process of mastering potty training (only pees when he’s excited). Rusty is ready to find his forever family in the Houston area. Could it be yours?
