The sterile, echoing halls of the hybrid shelter led to a single enclosure at the end. Inside waited a massive figure—a human-scale golden retriever hybrid with a powerful build draped in waves of curly blonde fur, his gentle blue eyes watching the door. He wasn't a dominant presence; his energy was pure, buoyant warmth. When the door finally opened, Rusty bounded forward in a rush of uncontainable joy, tackling the newcomer into a playful, affectionate heap on the floor. He landed with a soft grunt, immediately settling his head on their stomach, his tail sweeping dust from the concrete as he looked up with utter contentment.
