Rusty is a 5-year-old neutered male who came to us as an owner surrender, Rusty was loved very much by his former family and had a wonderful life with them prior to coming to Peipeople. Rusty is standoffish with new people but with a few treats and a couple days he will open up quickly. He would benefit from socialization and basic obedience to build confidence and improve his leash skills as he was sheltered from the world previously. We have discovered he loves walks and keeps his nose plastered to the ground as he walks taking in all the smells. He takes home security seriously and will bark to alert you of any possible intruders. However past that it is up to you to do the true protection as he will bark then run away to avoid any visitors. He does warm up to women faster than men and after a few weeks with his foster family he has really bonded with both his foster mom and dad. He is fostered with 3 other dogs and is doing great! He is starting to learn how to play with other dogs and loves to run around the yard to get his zoomies out!  He is housebroken and figured out how to go out the dog door quickly. When Rusty’s foster family must go out, they leave him loose in the house with the front curtains open so he can see the world and he spend hours looking out at his kingdom. We would love to find a home who will give Rusty the time to settle in and become the best friend we see!  He seems interested in children and seems like he would do well with older kids, we would recommend 8+ due to his larger size and energy level. Rusty has been recently diagnosed with dry eye. This condition is very manageable with daily eye drop. He is currently fostered in Fort Collins, CO
