Rusty

Dear Kathy, Our beloved rescue dog, Grover, died in June, and in October we knew we were ready. We weren't totally sure what we were looking for, except we wanted another perfect dog....healthy, personality, lovable, adorable, good with cats and children, not a barker, house trained, a good listener, a good walker, etc. We went to Carlin Park where many rescue organizations were present that day, but we were drawn to Justin Bartlett's "Foster to Adopt Program" after we met "Rusty" who began to bond with my husband. Rusty, a 16 pound Yorkie was found on the streets in Miami a few days earlier. I was skeptical, but I was assured that if it didn't work out, I would be getting Rusty ready for his new home. However, my husband and I knew he was the one, and knew with some training, patience, and love his permanent home would be ours. We changed his name to "Foster" after day 2, and he has slept with us ever since, and wakes us with his kisses. We have never seen such a happy devoted dog. He has given us such joy, and he makes us laugh. Thank you Justin Bartlett and all the volunteers. With appreciation, Marleen and Stu Hacker
