Well, hello! Rusty here.
I'm still finding my voice, but once you see past my shy streak, I'm endlessly curious, love exploring the outdoors, and I promise I'm worth the patient wait.
My notes call me gentle and a little shy — I warm up fast once I trust you, though.
I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I'm a Seattle local, just waiting on the right person.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
Who knows — by Labor Day I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Rusty

About Rusty
Animal Profile: Rusty is a 1.8 year Aussie/Cattle dog mix dogs who joined us via our TX partner Saving Shelter Strays. She was found walking down the street in an area with no houses close by and no one came to the shelter to claim her. Foster Update: Rusty is a bright, beautiful, and loving puppy. She is so smart and curious. The outdoors is her favorite place, even when she's tired, she just wants to take a nap out in the yard (unless it's raining, then she's perfectly happy to be indoors). She is pretty shy and is working on her confidence outside of her foster home/yard, but she's made great strides, especially when she realized there are stores specifically for dogs that will give her treats when she goes in! She also loves other dogs and playing with her foster brothers. She's very smart and can get bored easily, but she learns very quickly, and she takes cues from her foster brothers to figure out what she should be doing. We are looking for a home with a fenced yard that she can explore and relax in, a canine companion as well as a family with breed and shy dog experience to help continue her confidence building We are not considering apartments for her at this time.
