Meet Rusty, Blue Ribbon News Pet of the Week

(ROCKWALL, TX – March 16, 2016) This is Rusty. Though he trusts and loves people of all sizes, he has had a rough go of it with his own kind.  He is missing an ear, but you can’t really tell when looking at him, and has a cut on his lower eyelid.  He is on his guard around other dogs and is working hard to realize that when plenty of food, water and attention are around, other dogs are ok. He is housebroken and would rather be out of a cage hanging with you than in one. He is heartworm positive and is starting on treatment.

When you are around he just wants to relax and does so with gusto. Rusty has been neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. His adoption fee is a donation of $125. Email Rockwall Pets at to meet him today!
