Dusty is a cute little boy with white with fawn coloring on head and dark brown spots on body. He is medium-sized and very compact/muscular. He weighed 33lbs at his vet visit.

Dusty is very friendly and loving. He's a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to give kisses and snuggle. He is also very good with other dogs and loves to play with our big pup. His favorite toys are balls, and especially loves squeaky toys. He is ok with cats, but tends to try and chase them or bark at them. We are teaching him to leave the kitty alone. He is very good with older children, he has not been exposed to younger children that we know of, but is very tolerant of our 10 year old. She likes to "dance" with him. Dusty understands basic commands like come and sit and walks well on leash. As Dusty was a stray, he was not completely housebroken, but is progressing well with training. Dusty is a great little dog and would make a wonderful family companion.
