Rusty Roo (20260413-03)

My story

Rusty Roo is a lover not a fighter, he is a sweet loving guy. A little shy at first but comes around quickly.Rusty Roo and his siblings were on a property with no food or water They were starved for food and medical attention. Rusty Roo was so weak he couldn't move for weeks. He was fed through a tub until he got his strength up. Everyday was a new day for survival..Rusty Roo's foster family has been key in helping him learn what love looks like. He enjoys being outside helping with flowerbeds, laying with the cats or the pet rabbit. By using a slow feeder he has learned to taste his food. He can be a little shy with new friends but warms up quickly. He is crated for 6-8 hours during the day when his foster family is at work and has regular exposure and play time with children, other dogs, cats and even rabbits! All of the above are very dog savvy so they understand how to interact with young dogs. He is truly a sweet and beautiful boy who will make an excellent addition to the right family!
