This owner surrender was rather heart breaking. Dustys family is a military family and they are being restationed to Germany. There were many many tears, hugs, and snuggles leading up to this surrender. Dusty was a member of their family but their new living arrangements in Germany were not very dog friendly and Dusty wouldnt do well on a flight over seas in cargo so he found a safe place with NTASR.
Dusty just turned a year old. He is a gorgeous 55 lb pure bred red merle with the biggest and fluffiest tail I’ve ever seen. Dusty stresses out easily and needs a lot of patience and decompression. He has stranger danger that we are already overcoming. Dusty is such a lover and screams velcro dog. He is already attached to his fosters hip. Dusty has bad stranger danger and needs a calm, quiet, stress free home. He would prefer infrequent visitors. He gets along with other dogs but will not initiate play.
