I've found my furever family!

Rusty came into SPIN in June 2023 after being released from a puppy mill. Initially Rusty had trust issues. It took a long time to trust people but once he claimed you as part of his pack, he was friendly and playful. If he did not know you he would bark and do his best to seem scary. On the whole, Rusty was shy and fearful of everyday things like mops, brooms, and rakes (things with long handles). But Rusty learned. He learned he was safe. He learned the comfort of a soft bed. He learned that if he was scared or uncomfortable he could say "no" and people would listen. And in this way Rusty became more confident and has now graduated into a home of his own. 

We love you Rusty! SPIN loves you.
