At just 2-years-old, Rusty has had it rough.
Since February 2020, he has bounced around Central Texas looking for his forever home. He was even sent to a rescue in Idaho, but returned two months later due to behavior issues.
The staff at the Waco Animal Shelter worked diligently with Rusty to correct those issues.
After 419 days in the shelter, Rusty was finally placed with adopters. However, after one day in his forever home, Rusty was returned to the shelter.

WACO, Texas â Rusty the dog has done a lot of living in his two short years on Earth. The latest twist? An adoption that lasted less than 24 hours.
Rusty was surrendered as a puppy in February 2020 to the Humane Society of Central Texas, which has become the closest thing to a home for him after spending more than 400 days there.
Last year, the 50-pound pooch was placed in a foster home for two months and then with a rescue shelter in Idaho, according to CNN affiliate KXXV. That group sent him back to Waco because he didn t play nice with other dogs, and staff weren t able to find a home for him. The Texas shelter found him a home, which was great, but he was back after about a month for being destructive, KXXV reports.
