Our Point Pet of the Week will go fast!

This precious 8-year old Papillion mix is now at the Monmouth County SPCA after his previous owners surrendered him to the shelter when they had changes in their family that forced them to move to a new home. Unfortunately, the new home did not allow any pets. (Tragic.)

Rusty's last family consisted only of adults and they had him since he was a tiny puppy. They taught him to stay in a crate while they were gone which helped him to learn to be housebroken. Rusty lived in his home with another dog, too, and they got along well that it would be fine for you to adopt him even if you already have a dog.

Rusty can be a little shy when it comes to new people so please be patient -- he didn't have a lot of opportunity to meet many people in his last home. But he sure is lovable once he gets to know you. He will snuggle for hours on end.

And then there's playtime! Rusty loves to play and especially loves squeaky toys. He can run and chase a toy for hours if you'll indulge him with a game of fetch. Rusty is always happy and smiling, especially when his new friends take him out for a walk.
