Rusty

We are seeking a special home (foster to adopt) for Rusty our 6 month old traumatised staffy x pup.

Rusty is a beautiful boy that has come a long way, but is still building his confidence.

When he first came into care Rusty was petrified of people, but has always been good with other dogs.

Rusty is still wary when approached by people and he will not allow you to touch him unless you sit or lie down. If you ignore him then Rusty will come and lay his head in your lap. If you sit on the ground for a period of time then all fear is off and Rusty will jump all over you.

Rusty gets a lot of his confidence from other dogs. He needs another dog - preferably a confident but soft larger dog to live with and hangout with.

This boy has high prey drive so not suitable in a home with cats, chickens etc. Rusty's current foster carer reports he has nightmares so sleeping with other dogs would be recommended.

We are looking for a special home for Rusty. One that is nurturing but with clear boundaries and expectations. Another dog is essential.
Due to his uncertainty around people we are looking for a quieter child free home.

Rusty is flea and worm treated, vaccinated, desexed and microchiped. His adoption fee will be negotatabe for the right home. We will only do a foster to adopt arrangement - not a straight adoption as we are committed to find his right home.

To find out if your home is suitable for this special by please contact Carolyn on 0427 221 231.
