Rusty 9681

My story

I am a Breeder Release dog, and my past was far from kind. I spent my life in a small cage, used only for breeding, with little to no human interaction—and when there was, it was rarely gentle. Because of this, I’m very timid and unsure around people. Trust doesn’t come easily to me, and it may take weeks or even months before I feel safe in your presence. But with patience, compassion, and consistency, I believe I can begin to heal. I’ve never known what it means to be a loved family member, but I’m holding on to hope that someone out there is willing to show me the kindness I’ve always deserved.
