Black Labrador Retriever and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption

The NASCAR Crew is revving up and racing toward their forever homes, and Rusty Wallace is ready to take the lead! Born around December 8, 2025, this little speedster is eager to shift gears into a loving family. His momma is a sweet border collie/lab mix who was found as a stray, and while dad remains a mystery, Rusty clearly inherited plenty of charm.

Rusty Wallace is a gentle, quieter pup who enjoys taking life at a steady pace. Once he feels comfortable, he loves cuddling up and being close to his people, with just enough playful energy to keep things fun. With his likely border collie and lab roots, Rusty will grow into a smart, loyal companion who benefits from daily exercise, mental stimulation, and positive-reinforcement training. He’s expected to be eager to learn, people-focused, and happiest when included in family activities.

Rusty will need patience, consistency, house-training, socialization, and continued guidance as he grows. In return, he’ll offer affection, devotion, and a lifetime of tail wags. If you’re ready for a sweet co-pilot to share both adventure and downtime, Rusty Wallace is ready to cross the finish line straight into your heart.
