Animal Profile


Rusty Jones

Hello, my name is Rusty Jones . My animal id is #142727. I am a desexed male brown dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 5 years 2 months 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 5/8/2022.

Reserved

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Rusty Jones is on the emergency placement list for medical reasons. He has significant pneumonia in his lungs and has not been eating well. He needs healthy food (chicken stew with lots of broth- no onions/no garlic), controlled movement to get the chest debris up and out of the lungs, coupage and moments in the bathroom all steamed up. He also needs to take his antibiotics. Behaviorally, he is a very friendly dog.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Rusty Jones is on the emergency placement list for medical reasons. He has significant pneumonia in his lungs and has not been eating well. He needs healthy food (chicken stew with lots of broth- no onions/no garlic), controlled movement to get the chest debris up and out of the lungs, coupage, and moments in the bathroom all steamed up. He also needs to take his antibiotics. Behaviorally, he is a very friendly dog. What my friends at ACC say about me: I have medical needs that the staff will address with you when you meet me. I am looking for a home with a patient person. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace. I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you. A volunteer writes: Rusty Jones' beaming smile says it all: this stunningly beautiful boy just loves life! He's bouncy and playful and eager to show off his 'sit' for treats but by far his favorite pastime is snuggling close to his friends for petting and offering a flurry of grateful kisses in return. Rusty enjoys chasing toys and plays a very soft game of tug-o-war and he's an easy leash walker who seems to be house trained too. This good guy hasn't shown any reactivity toward other pups and is always happy to share his things, so aside from some initial shyness, he's ready to join a family as affectionate and gentle as he is ASAP. Rusty's gorgeous looks and sweet nature are the stuff love, at first, sight, is made of, so visit our Manhattan Care Center today and book your own date with destiny!

Summary:: 5/9/2022: Rusty is introduced on-leash to a female large dog. He greets with a soft body and tail wag.

Summary (3):: 5/23/22: Rusty is laying on his bed when approached. He comes forward with a loose body and wagging tail. He is leashed and taken to the yard. Rusty seeks attention from the handler. He places his head between the handler's legs and allows petting. He is taken back inside with no issue. 5/11/22: Rusty Jones is at the front of the kennel with a neutral body. He is easily leashed and taken to the yard. Once outside he struggles to walk and drags his back legs for a few seconds. Once in the pen, Rusty is very social with handlers. He continuously rubs his head on handler's legs and nudges the handler's hand for a pet. He remains social throughout the interaction and is taken back inside with no issue.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Rusty so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 1

Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)

Recommendations comments:: No young children: Due to Rusty displaying some slight handling sensitivity, a home without young children is recommended.

Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity

Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Rusty became a bit uncomfortable and pulled his paws away when handled during his assessment. Please see handout on Touch Sensitivity.
