He enjoys being close to his humans and will happily soak up all the love and attention you're willing to give.He is 100% potty trained and leash trained. Rusty is very smart and has already learned "sit" and "shake," making him an easy and rewarding addition to a home ready to give him the stability he deserves.Rusty survived the unimaginable and is now ready for a forever family who will never let him down again. If you're looking for a loyal, devoted companion with a resilient spirit, Rusty is your boy. Rusty is located in Houston, TX. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.
