Finding Home Together: Meet Rusty & Dax

Sometimes the best things in life come in pairs—especially when they’ve already survived the hard stuff together.

Rusty and Dax are two Heeler-mix pups who were found abandoned by a river. While their start was rough, their bond is unbreakable. They were brought to Friends of Animals and are now looking for a forever home where they can stay side-by-side.

Rusty: The Bold Leader Rusty is the 'big brother' in every sense of the word. He’s fun-loving, energetic, and always ready for an adventure. He keeps a watchful eye on his brother, making sure Dax feels safe and confident. If you’re looking for a dog with a classic Heeler spark and a heart of gold, Rusty is your guy.

Dax: The Sweetest Soul

Dax may be blind, but he doesn't let that slow him down. He is arguably the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet, navigating the world through sound and scent. He’ll happily follow your voice for hours, using his keen ears as his 'eyes.' He finds immense comfort in his brother's presence, which is why these two are inseparable.

The Perfect Pair

Because Dax relies on Rusty for confidence, these brothers are currently kenneled together and must be adopted as a duo. They offer the perfect balance: Rusty brings the play, and Dax brings the cuddles.

If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for two resilient, loving brothers, Rusty and Dax are waiting for you.
