Rusty was part of the breeding stock of a backyard breeder who called his dogs "Red Fox Terriers". From what we understand was he was pretty much taking miniature Rat Terriers and Miniature Pinschers and then dumping the dogs who weren't red. Former New Rattitude foster girl Ember was one of those pups who was dumped for being the "wrong" color.
Because he didn't have a kennel license the city or county was able to shut him down and all dogs were removed from his property. He was allowed to keep two dogs but they had to be spayed/neutered. Happily, the confiscated dogs weren't your average under-socialized messes that backyard breeders tend to turn out. They are pretty confident dogs with nice even temperaments.
Rusty is all red with upright ears and a docked tail. He weighs about 10-12 pounds and we'll learn more about him when he settles into his foster home. He'll be fostered by our newest foster parent, Farley Harding, in Seattle, Washington. A big thank you to Farley for stepping up and being a part of saving this guy's life.
