Rusty is a laid back, lazy little dog. His favorite things are belly rubs and being with his people. He's also quite the lady's man.
Thank you for supporting Rusty in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid PAWS in their mission to help cats, dogs, and wild animals thrive in happy, healthy homes or in their natural habitats.
What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreRusty's favorite toy is a catnip mouse that he stole from his kitty siblings. It has a long leathery tail, and he's been trying to rip that tail off for 5 years now and he still hasn't succeeded. His go-to treat is Natural Balance Reward Minis. He likes small, bite-sized treats.
His most unique quality is his little under-bite. That comes from the Pekingese in him. It gives him that little gremlin look.
Rusty is a rescue. He had been on his own in the mountains for over a month before he trusted people enough to come down for food. Just the fact that a little guy like him survived that long on his own should show that he deserves the most out of life and we try to give him the best life possible.
