Rusty was actually the very first dog NASRN pulled from a shelter. Mastiff rescue in OK called and told us there was an Anatolian that was going to be put down in an hour, was there anything we could do to save him?  Rusty was successfully pulled from the shelter, although we were never quite sure if he really had any Anatolian heritage in him, Rusty was adopted by Audrey Miller and her family in Minnesota. He had a wonderful home filled with children that lavished love and kindness upon him. He was taken away all too soon, but the time that he spent with The Millers was undoubtedly the best years of his life.
