My story

Text or email only for direct contact with rescuer located in Palmdale approved for same-day adoption (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello, my name is Rustin. I’m a cute little rat terrier mix puppy that is a high kill shelter survivor As well as a Parvo Survivor! The odds were stacked against me, but I didn’t give up although I didn’t trust people I was able to trust my rescuer and together she and I beat Parvo and after many sleepless nights(for us both!) when I got the all clear we celebrated with pup cups from Starbucks which is my absolute favorite treat now! My rescuer thinks I will eventually fold and love getting dressed up and all of these crazy outfits and sweaters, but I tolerate them because she squeals when I let her dress me. I have made many friends in the rescue, both feline and canine, A house pig and some sheep and goats that come in for daily treats (I’m not too big a fan of the house chicken as he is very protective of my rescuer) but I’m very well socialized with a variety of animals and with a little time and more desensitizing to touch, I will regain my trust in humans, but my rescuer feels I am ready for my own forever home because she believes that one on one time and socialization will help me open my heart once more. I love to be held and I easily fall asleep in your arms I’m not a super hyper or even active puppy I’m very playful and sweet but also very mellow and relaxed when I’m comfortable I just need someone who is patient kind and soft spoken to bring out my full potential and show me it’s OK to be a puppy! if you think that sounds like you and you’re willing to give me that chance, Please contact my rescuer directly with the information listed above my story to schedule a time for us to meet I am approved for same-day adoption so if you fall in love with me, the adoption process is easy and doesn’t take long at all and once completed and I am yours and you are mine to begin our new lives together❤️ I’ve come along way and survived so much and I am ready for this next chapter. I look forward to meeting you!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rustin, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
