Augie (Rusty 08-610) [1]

Meet Rusty. He is a beautiful Golden mix, possibly mixed with yellow lab according to the vet's best guess. He is estimated to be around one year old. He is an UTD, neutered, healthy boy who weighs in at a whopping 47 lbs which is a great weight for his size. He came all the way from Kentucky along with three other dogs, Chance, Emmi and Scarlet. He was a stray in a very full shelter and his time was up. We've only had him for a day but this is what we know so far.

• He is a great passenger in the car.
• He is super friendly, getting along great with everyone he meets including our resident male dog.
• He walks wonderfully with the Gentle Leader.
• He tolerates grooming quite well.
• He sleeps quietly in his crate all night long.
• He is very alert and curious.

Rusty was extremely stinky so he has had two baths already. I brushed him, cleaned his ears and clipped his nails with no complaints from him. He hasn't had any accidents in the house so far. He did test positive for worms so he will be on meds for the next five days to clear those up. His ears were very dirty and possibly infected so we will keep them clean and he will go in for a re-check in two weeks when he is due for his booster shots. More to come as we get to know this sweet, happy boy.
