This adorable little guy is Rusty! Just about 4-5 months old he has impressed his foster mom as an exceptional youngster: “He’s a very easy going and unusually mellow puppy.” Rusty quickly made himself at home and loves his big soft bed. At about 50 pounds, Rusty will be a big boy when he’s all grown up.
We’ve already learned that this strikingly handsome pup is housetrained, crate trained and walks quite nicely on the leash. Gentle as a lamb, he’s an affectionate and playful pup too – in a nutshell, just plain irresistible!
Puppies, while adorable, are not for everyone. Think carefully if your lifestyle has room for the extraordinary responsibility of raising a puppy. Do you truly have time for the daily nurturing and constant supervision required? Do you mind piddles on your floor, chewing on your things and, before you know it, a “teenage puppy” with ideas of his own? The proper handling and socialization of a puppy are critical to their development into a well adjusted adult. As Rusty grows he will require your steady, kind leadership, commitment to his training and rely on you for his extensive daily exercise needs.
If you would like Rusty to consider your application, please tell us why your home would be suitable for a puppy in the comments section of your application.
Rusty will only be placed in a home with (1) adults or older children who can treat a dog with kindness and respect and (2) one that clearly has the dedication and substantial time throughout the day to devote to raising a puppy to responsible adulthood.
