Meet Rusty, a newly retired hunting dog. Living in a kennel amongst other dogs, or possibly by himself, for the majority of his life, assumedly, and being starved of food and human affection, was all this sweet boy had ever known. He came to the shelter emaciated, timid, and riddled with worms. He has been quarantined and treated for some of the parasites but has been diagnosed with heartworms. This sweet boy had never been on a leash and obviously wasn’t let out of his former kennel much. Rusty is learning to trust his caregivers at the shelter, and is gladly accepting the love, food, and safety being offered to him. Once a sad, defeated dog, Rusty now has a sparkle in his eye, a smile in his soul, and some wags in his tail. He deserves to be shown love and kindness for the rest of his life, however long that may be.
