Profile

This good looking boy is rusty.He has the most gorgeous red coat that all the girls will go ga-ga over.He is slightly built around 55 lbs.He is 18 months old, neutered and in excellent physical condition.I don't have his health records as of yet,but have talked to his former Veterinary clinic and he is past due on all his vaccinations and is not micro-chipped.He has a appointment on the 26th to get everything up to date.He is a surrender dog who was to exuberant for there four year old,chewed up his toys and was thus restricted to his crate in the basement or tied up outside.He also jumped the fenced fence in the back yard.(the fence was only three feet tall,something my grandmother could jump over and she is dead.)He gets along well with my resident dogs(after the normal posturing by all involved)He was introduced to water on his arrival here. He was a little leery of it at first,but is now swimming and playing chase the ducks like a true Golden.There are no aggression issues with food or toys.He is in fact a true gentleman and is adjusting well to pack life here at the lake.He was crate shy at first as he thought it was punishment to go there.We have left the door open for him so he can come and go as he pleases.Yesterday he went in and checked it out.After he found out he could come and go as he pleased he even took two naps in it.I can tell he has some obedience training,but he still needs work.We are working on that,going for walks twice a day,swimming and learning to live out side of a crate and having free run of the house.Rusty is going to make a fine family member for some lucky family.So far I see so reason he shouldn't be around children as he likes everyone.He just needs to be exercised and be with a family that has time for him.I will send more photos and a update after his vet appointment.

Rusty has been updated on all vaccinations.Fecal,heartworm,and lymes were all negative.he was chipped and is ready to go to his forever home.He weighed in at 59 lbs and is in excellent health.He has settled in very well here with are resident dogs,has learned how to swim,go for long walks,and only go in his crate when he wants to.he gets a little drooly while in the car and has to be coaxed in.We are working on that with short rides into town and to the vets and is slowly getting used to it.I think it is just from anxiety and not real car sickness as he just drools and no vomiting.He likes to counter surf and has jumped up once on the first day here,but was corrected and hasn't done so since.he still likes to sniff though.We have been working on obedience and have made a little headway there also.He will sit very well,stay for a short period,and will come most of the time.he is making very good progress in the trust department too.He will go to his crate now for naps and has also slept in it the last two nights.He has a good appetite and was very well behaved at the vets.Rusty is just all around good boy.He has no aggressions what so ever.He is playful will make someone a very happy companion.Right now he wants to go down to the lake,so more later.
