Rusty needs a home

I run searches on Petfinder.com every day looking for animals that need help. Sometimes I make a connection with the appropriate group or a person I know who can help. Sometimes Friends of Flicka can help with funding, but other times there is just a sweet animal that needs a home and I try to get the word out there. How do you say no to this dog?

Size: MediumAge: SeniorSex: MaleID:
Notes:
Senior citizen looking for retirement home. I am good with small children and other dogs and cats. I had to come to the shelter because my dad is going over seas to Iraq and there will be nobody to take care of me. I am worried that no one will want me because I am older and I will have to live the end of my life at a shelter when I should be in my home basking in the sun and being pampered. Do you have enough love in your heart to take me home for a short time and love me the way I should be? I am housetrained too if that helps. Come up and take me home today.
