Pam adopted Rusty in early 1996 when the Save A Sato adoption program was still really new. He just turned 11 years old. "Rusty Poo" (his original name) has been such a wonderful member of our family for so long and he is still very vibrant and happy. Pam has pictures of him sitting with Chantal on her deck on the water and it seems impossible that it was soooo long ago. He's their Big Ole Papa Bear. Pam just wanted to share with other Sato families that these dogs can have such a wonderful family life through this program.
