UKIAH, CA., 11/25/25 – This week’s Featured Pet is Rusty, an 1-year-old pup available for adoption through the Ukiah Animal Shelter. Here is his profile from the shelter:
Rusty is that goofy best friend who always brings the fun. He’s the life of the party, the toy hoarder, and zoomies champion rolled into one freckle-faced package. Friendly with people and pups alike, he’s looking for an active family who appreciates a little chaos, a lot of love, and doesn’t mind dog hair as an accessory. LIKES: Toys (all of them), new friends (two-legged AND four-legged), and spontaneous zoomies sessions. DISLIKES: Sitting still for too long (life’s too short!). CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Basic obedience… because apparently “sit” means more than just a suggestion. If you’ve got energy to spare and toys to share, Rusty’s ready to steal your heart (and maybe your squeaky ball). Rusty is 1 year old and a charming 45 pounds.
