Meet the gorgeous gentleman called Rusty, he came to the centre as his previous owner could not meet his needs. Sadly Rusty was not in  great shape when he came to the centre, he was extremely underweight, his beautiful coat was dirty and matted. Despite all this Rusty was just such a loving, friendly and gentle natured dog, an absolute gent.

Rusty was seen immediately by the vet and had various tests done, these revealed that has a condition called Exocrine Pancreatic insufficiency that had been left untreated which explained why he was in such a poor state when he arrived. Rusty was put on a feeding program and medication for his EPI, within weeks Rusty started to gain weight. He was groomed and bathed and is now on the road to recovery. Rusty has never grumbled throughout all his treatment and remained a gentle and kind boy, he is such a trooper.

Rusty loves his walks although he only needs short walks due to some arthritis in his back legs, he takes daily pain relief for this. Despite his medical issues, Rusty is just the loveliest boy who is absolutely loving life now he is on his medications, he is such a happy lad who can instantly cheer you up if you are having a bad day. Time spent with Rusty is just the best.

Rusty is looking for a retirement home where he can spend whatever time he has left with us just chilling and relaxing with a family who love him unconditionally. If you are wanting a sofa buddy to snuggle up with Rusty is the dog for you, he will be your faithful best friend. Rusty is sociable with other calm dogs and could potentially live with another and could live with children aged 12 years and over.
