Champaign County Pet of the Week

Rusty is a 1-year-old male Heinz 57 mix. He is a medium-sized dog at 40 pounds. Rusty came to us when he was found lying (unhurt) in a field. We wondered if someone dumped him there, and he was waiting for them to come back. Rusty is very friendly, very active and is good with other dogs. He is up to date on vaccinations (including rabies) and has tested negative for heartworm.
