Congratulations to Rusty Hentschel of Houston, TX!

Here is what Rusty's owners had to say about him...

Meet Rusty. 

Rusty is a 13 year old Border Collie.  Rusty was abandoned in Dallas, Texas when his previous owners left him in a garage when they moved away.He was fostered through Texas Border Collie Rescue and was adopted by Mark Hentschel at 6 months old.Rusty coloring is unusual for a border collie and is called a saddle back.  

Rusty began competing in Frisbee at a year and half, he has also competed in agility and herding. 

Rusty’s passion though is flyball.In his youth Rusty was one of the fastest dogs in the country.  He has travelled all over the country competing in flyball.  He retired two years ago and received a special award from the Nation Flyball Association called Iron dog for competing ten consecutive years.  When he retired at over ten years old he was still running flyball faster than most dogs.

Rusty is a beautiful dog that is all heart. He loves all games and is sweet and kind to all people he meets as well as other dogs.
Everyone that meets Rusty instantly likes him for his sweet personality.
Rusty was diagnosed with inoperable cancer a few months ago and does not have long to be with us on this earth.
By most dogs standards he has had an awesome life, meet thousands of dogs and people in his various competitive sports.
Rusty lives his life in the country enjoying what time he has to be with us on this earth.
