Rusty

Rusty is a very timid dog who needs slow, considered handling. He came from the pound where he was terrified. He is easily startled by sudden or rapid movements. He loves toys, food and lots of cuddles and gentle tones. Rusty is easily overwhelmed by even small dogs and is happiest ATM with older quiet small dogs who give him space.  He has a scruffy coat and is currently underweight at 8.9kg. He has short achondroplastic limbs (bow legged) and a long spine so our vets suggest he should be kept on the lean side. He would suit a rescue experienced adult family willing to put the time into him to let him climb out of his shell.
