Oh — hi! Rusty here.

I might gently herd your kids, your guests, and the vacuum — it's a love language.

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 Thanksgiving 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

Rusty is an 1.8-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who was found as a stray in Texas and is being transported to the Seattle area for adoption. She is bright, smart, and curious, with a loving temperament and a strong preference for outdoor time and yard exploration. Rusty is shy and still building confidence in new environments, but she learns quickly and responds well to positive experiences like dog-friendly stores and playtime with other dogs. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard, another canine companion, and experienced owners who can support her continued confidence building.
