Rusty is a handsome 3 year old medium sized German Shepherd. His owners somehow lost him and he wound up in a high kill shelter. He is a friendly boy, although just a bit shy first. But once he knows you for a few minutes, he is 'all yours'. He loves to bury his head under your arm, and just be scratched and held. He gets along with all dogs, is well behaved in the car. He rode with Rose in the back of a fairly small car, and they were perfectly fine sharing the small space in our volunteer's car.
When he got to the park to have his pictures taken, and 'set paw' on the lawn, he suddenly got a spring in his walk. It was an instant change from a 'bit gloomy' to happy and bouncy. Seeing simple things like that is what makes our work worthwhile. Rusty needs to gain a few pounds, which will be no problem once he is happily settled in in his new forever home.
