7/26/10--We are happy to say that it looks like Dusty has a place to call his own for as long as he continues to have good quality of life.  He will get plenty of loving attention, just like all pets deserve. :-) 

I'm Dusty and I was rescued from a location where 20 dogs were all chained up, living outside with little or no protection from the weather.  We were all heartworm positive, and I also have a large mass on my spleen that it will not be advisable to operate on.  I need a place where I can comfortably spend the remainder of my time, however long that might be.  Despite my challenges, I'm just a happy guy who wants to live the rest of my life to the fullest.   Now that I've been in a foster home, I've learned that sleeping on a soft bed, spending time indoors and having someone to pet me, brush me, and treat me special are wonderful things.  I would probably do best in a single-dog setting, or with a friendly female dog for a pal.  Kitties in the family might NOT be a good idea.  I hope someone will think I deserve a better life than what I had for so many years on the end of a chain.  Your love could make a world of difference to me!
