BIO: Hi, I’m Dusty and my foster mom says I am one sweet but quirky guy! I was picked up as a stray and scared of just about EVERYTHING when I came to CDR. It was obvious that I had never spent much time in a house before. Since then, I’ve made huge strides building my confidence and I’m learning to be part of the pack. I’m about the cutest thing you’ll ever see: foster mom says I look a little like Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter ( but more handsome). I may be part kangaroo, as I tend to get the zoomies and leap around. I also like to stand up on my back legs see what’s going on. I am incredibly submissive when people first approach, but I truly love them all- big and small! I bond very closely with people, and I’m definitely anxious when I can’t be with them. I would do best in a family where I don’t need to be left alone for more than a couple hours at a time. To help with that, I have been working hard on crate training! I eat in my crate twice a day, will sleep there overnight, and can be crated for a few hours while my people are away. Another dog in the house will be a must for me: the more playful, the better! My Fosters have been working hard on potty training with me, but I just haven’t quite figured it out yet. But don’t fear, they will send my doggie diaper / belly band with me to my new home! If you have the kindness and patience to continue helping me settle into home life, I promise to reward you with unlimited love and gratitude. I’ve already made such amazing progress becoming the dog I was meant to be, I just need the right adopters to finish helping me bloom! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a preadoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can!
Cuddles and sweet puppy kisses-Dusty
