Rusty, our MONSTER of a rescue! This is the story of Rusty, our adopted Golden Retriever/Irish Setter Mix (oops, excuse me, HYBRID, err, um, MUTT) and my adventures to help save more dogs in need of homes like Rusty.

Get Furminated
Seriously - so it takes the undercoat and not the top coat. You've seen pics of Rusty, he's pretty dang furry. You can order it here: FURminator deShedding Tool
I Furminate (haha, I LURVE that word... Furminate) him on a fairly regular basis otherwise his hind legs go into a tailspin of never ending knots and matts.
First - get the dog used to the Furminater. Treats around it, sniffing, whatever possible to get them used to it.
Second - treat while in the process of furminating. And also - have a bag handy for disposing of fur. You'll have to pull all the fur out after one or two swipes. It's that good!
We pulled out close to a pasta box (rigatoni sized) of fur. Ok, so that's what I have for filling with fur, I don't collect plastic bags, Bimmer Man does and I end up recycling them anyway.
Furminator recommendation = It's a MUST HAVE for dogs with lots of undercoat.
