MEET DUSTY-WAITING TO BE ADOPTED
Dusty is a 3-yearold Maltese who may have a bit of a silly haircut, but he likes to think that his unique look helps to match his unique personality!
He’s got a good number of quirks in such a small body, constantly wanting to run around and jump up to get (or give) kisses to anyone he sees!
He prefers people but doesn’t mind being around other dogs, not wanting to pick a fight but not eager to make a furry friend of his own. He would be ideal for someone with a more playful personality, either a family with young kids, or even
just someone who’s young at heart!
Dusty would prefer somewhere near a dog park so he can get easy access to somewhere he can let loose!
Dusty came into JCACC looking a tad worse for wear but has been properly coiffed and ready for his close-up.
Interested in Adopting Dusty please call 201-547-5700
