Arrival Story:
We first met Rusty at the Providence Animal Rescue League. Workers there found him inside one of their pens when they came in at 7 in the morning. The pen has an 8-foot chain link fence around it and they believe someone threw him over the fence into the pen. His right front paw was permanently injured because of this. We then adopted this little guy when he was only five months old.

Bio:
Rusty is very protective of his family....sometimes too good. He does not like visitors in general coming to the house, but if they give him a bone, he is more tolerant. NEW: Rusty is now a much friendlier dog to visitors, thanks to the Dog Whisperer!!!!
