Description

🐾 Meet Rusko: The Treat-Lovin’, Boundary-Respectin’, Sprint-Champ Queen! 🐾

Looking for a loyal companion who’s low-key but high on heart? Meet Rusko, a 4-year-old, 30 lb, spayed female Shepherd mix with a heart as soft as her ear floofs (and they are very floofy). She was rescued from a not-so-pawesome shelter in Ensenada by The Animal Pad and is now ready for her glow-up story: starring YOU.

Rusko’s Special Skills Include:

  • Mastering the potty game 🚽 (bathroom trained? Check!)
  • Slaying walkies on a leash like a supermodel on the catwalk 🐾
  • Being low-maintenance and high reward 💤
  • Accepting pets like royalty—no kisses please, but polite affection is most welcome 👑

🐕 What Rusko isn’t:

  • A fan of chaos, loud noises, or fetch. (Toys? Ew.)
  • A cuddler—but pet her gently and she’ll melt faster than butter on a sidewalk in August.
  • The life of the dog park. She’s more of a “one-human fan club” kinda gal.

🎾 What she is:

  • A sprinter extraordinaire! Don’t even try to outpace her—you will lose.
  • A calm, quiet presence for your home. Mellow vibes only, please.
  • A sweet soul who’s working hard on her confidence, and just needs time (and treats) to bloom 🌸

🐶 Rusko’s Ideal Home:

  • Possibly the only pup (she’d love to hog all the love), but could do okay with a slow intro to a calm dog.
  • No cats, please—we just don’t know yet.
  • No young kiddos. Older, dog-savvy kids who respect boundaries? Maybe. But toddlers with grabby hands? That’s a no from Rusko.
  • A human who understands that trust takes time, but is worth every patient minute.

💼 Have a busy schedule? No prob. Rusko doesn’t have separation anxiety, but she will wait by the door hoping for more pets when you get home. Preferably a quieter home where she can slowly decompress, with someone who respects her space as much as she’ll respect yours.

📣 Bonus Fun Fact: Rusko is very treat-motivated and is picking up indoor manners like a champ! Outside is a bit overstimulating (so many smells, so little time), so she’s still working on focusing when out and about.

🏡 If you’re into gentle walks, quiet evenings, respectful affection, and having a four-legged friend who doesn’t require constant attention (but definitely wants your love), Rusko might just be the low-key, high-loyalty love of your life.

Ready to help her write her paw-sitively perfect second chapter? 🐾

Adopt Rusko. Respect her space. Win her heart. 💛

Rusko’s adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/
