About Rusty
Ever wanted a best mate who’s smarter than your average toddler, cuter than a basket of puppies (oh wait…), and has enough energy to power a small village? Meet Rusty – 12 weeks of pure, wiggly, floppy-eared chaos and charm.
Rusty is a classic Border Collie – which means he’s got brains, bounce, and a cheeky streak a mile wide. He’s currently mastering the fine art of sock theft, zoomies at inconvenient times, and giving you those “I swear I didn’t do it” puppy dog eyes. He’s also learning all the important stuff – like how to sit, how to be a good boy, and how to melt hearts with just one head tilt.
Rusty’s hobbies include:
Herding anything that moves (including shadows)
Chasing his own tail like it’s a full-time job
Dramatically flopping for belly rubs
Being an all-round legend
He’s super social, loves other dogs, and is looking for a home that can keep up with his smarts and silliness. Whether you’re after a future agility champ, a working buddy, or just an adventure partner who’ll always keep you laughing – Rusty’s your pup.
Vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to make your life 1000% more entertaining.
Apply now – Rusty’s waiting, and he’s already picked out his favourite spot on your couch.
