2/14/04 - It’s Valentine’s
Day, a perfect day to send a dog to his forever home. Rusty was
picked early in the morning by an excited family from Charlotte,
NC. Deborah and Brian, two schoolteachers and their daughter Lanie
were headed for a shopping spree at PetSmart. They fell in love
with Rusty a week ago when they met him, and it was also the anniversary
of their late dog Sydney’s passing. They felt it was ‘meant
to be’ that they met Rusty the same day, and have been preparing
for his arrival all week with the installation of baby gates,
ordering a monogrammed bed and browsing the pet supply stores
for toys that he might like. Our foster Mother DeAn was sad to
see him go, but had become very attached to him saying ‘he
was the best foster yet’.
Original Story 1/24/04 - Rusty is 38 pounds and not a Beardie
mix, but a shaggy delight. He was at the pound and when we went
by his cage, he raised one paw to say ‘hi’. His face
is more teddy bear-ish in person, and his coat is as rich and
red as an Irish Setter. He does not seem to have an undercoat.
He is estimated by the vet at 12-18 months old. Rusty loves everyone
and is so eager to learn and please.
