Rusty is a 5 yo neutered male Anatolian Shepherd located in Birmingham, AL. He has been in foster care for 3 weeks.

Rusty is a huge cuddle bug at 86lbs and still has 10lbs to go! 
He was kept at the shelter in a kennel from Oct to Dec 21st, he was very thin and developed bedsores from being so skinny on concrete. It seems he had such anxiety about being at the shelter that he paced for the 3 months and put on no weight. He tested positive for heartworms and is currently undergoing the slow treatment with monthly Advantage Multi. All other medical issues have healed!
 
Rusty is a LOYAL and LOVING dog. He always wants to cuddle, gives dog hugs (leans) for pets, and loves to play with toys. He throws them in the air and plays well solo. He has a strong drive to protect you and especially kiddos and can be redirected if needed.
He shows no interest in livestock, does well with another dog in the home, and is learning to play with other dogs. We do not recommend a multiple dog household as it takes him time to adjust to new friends and he could be overwhelmed.
 
He is crate trained and house trained and likes to sleep with you. Even with only being in our home for 2 weeks, Rusty makes little changes everyday and gets better quickly so he should adjust in no time to a new loving family.
 
This is a courtesy listing. This dog is currently adoptable but is not a part of or associated with National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue Network (NASRN), including NASRN’s adoption and/or fostering programs. The information listed for each animal was provided by individual caregivers and was not generated or verified by NASRN. NASRN makes no representations related to these animals . As with all adoptions, NASRN encourages potential adopters to gain as much information as possible before adopting these animals , including but not limited to temperament testing, consultation with a trainer, and consultation with a veterinarian.
