In the shelter’s words
Dusty is a cuddle bug. He just wants to soak up all your attention. Dusty loves to be chased by other dogs at the dog park. He has a low to moderate energy level. He's not interested in fetch, but loves to play with toys. Dusty thoroughly enjoys walks, car rides, puzzles, dog toys, and bully sticks. Dusty does well with kids of all ages. It would be best if he is the only dog. He would also thrive in a household with a larger, more dominant dog who is fixed. Dusty knows how to sit and stay. He is house-trained and crate trained. He has fantastic leash manners. He gets mouthy when understimulated so he loves to nibble on you. It's a sign he's ready for a walk! He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on all vaccines. Medically, he seems to have allergies that cause itching, scratching, skin rashes, and redness in his groin area. We manage this by feeding him lamb and giving him baths every 2 weeks. If you would like to meet this sweet boy please contact his Foster Jaimie 818-523-8948 garcia.jaimieb@gmail.com
