Dusty

Male, 2-3 yrs old, 64 lbs Personality: goofy/funny, eager-to-please, adaptable, affectionate, outgoing, good running partner, energetic, smart, playful, snuggler, rambunctious, adventurous, and brave. Dusty is a big cuddle bug who loves people and is extremely curious about new places, people, and things. An overgrown lap dog, Dusty will also happily sit between your legs as you give him pets. Dusty loves to play tug of war or chase his favorite toys. He'll play fetch for as long as you are willing to throw! He has lived comfortably in a home with large and small dogs and tested well with cats at the shelter. An eager to please dog who has quickly adjusted to city life and apartment living, Dusty is also a fast learner. (It helps when you have his favorite treats on you - hot dogs and string cheese!) He already knows the words "sit, "leave, and "paw and is working on "1, 2, 3 for walks. His foster is working on crate training to make sure Dusty feels like the crate is a safe space. Dusty is energetic and is looking for someone to take him on long walks. He excels in eating his meals from enrichment puzzles, which help to calm his active brain! Once he's had his exercise and playtime, he happily curls up on the couch for a snooze. Because Dusty still thinks he's a puppy and is learning that jumping on new friends isn't the way to go, he would do best in a home without very young children. If Dusty sounds like the one for you, apply today! __________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained.
