Rusty

Breed: Australian Shepherd (mix)
Age: 2 years		Gender: Male

Rusty is a sweet boy. He is a little tentative of new people, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up, especially if you scratch his rump a little. Rusty is also a big fan of belly rubs. Rusty is a low-key dude who gets along with other dogs.

Freedom

Breed: Terrier (mix)

Freedom is a very sweet dog who came in with a skin infection and matted fur. Despite the skin condition and the bad haircut, this girl is still quite photogenic. With a little TLC, this loving dog will blossom into a fabulous part of the family. Check out her high-resolution photo to see her look adoringly at her human companion (whom she had just met that day!)
