Dusty

Dusty is a sweet older dog, recently brought to us through no fault of his own. Dusty is deaf, and because of this, he can be cautious when getting to know new people. He has only lived with adults in the past, and children might be frightening for him. He has lived with cats before and is not reactive to the other dogs in the shelter.

Dusty seems to warm up quickly to meeting new people, he recently went on an adventure to the Paris Fire Station for their food drive and ended up having a wonderful time. He loves to go outside and relax in the sun. He prefers short walks and loves car rides. Dusty also loves to curl up on a comfy bed and relax in his crate.

The ideal home would be one where he could spend his senior years in comfort. Dusty is eager and ready to find his final and forever home.
