Story
Rusty is a sweet five year old Kelpie mix that had a rough start in life.  He was kept as an “outside” dog, and he never received any of the attention that he so desperately craved.  Every time someone came outside, he would get so excited that he would jump on them and quickly was labeled as a bad dog.  He was surrendered to his foster family in November 2019, and is absolutely loving life indoors at his foster home.  With a little training his jumping has already gotten much better, and it seems like Rusty would excel doing agility.  He absolutely loves to play ball and fetch.  Rusty is doing well with his playful foster siblings, TMHPR alums Ruby and Jackie, and he also has a one year old little boy to keep him on his toes (and his tummy full).  Rusty is getting very attached to his “people” and would do well in a home with another playful/confident dog and older kids.  He likes to play hard, so little kids and cats are probably a no-go for him.  He would prefer an owner who is home more often than not, but he does know how to use a dog door and is quickly learning to potty outside only.  Right now, Rusty is home for about 4-5 hours at a time and has not been destructive nor has he shown any signs of separation anxiety.  Because of Rusty’s background, he is a little nervous around strangers and proper introductions should be made.
