About Rigby - 11 Month Old Kelpie
If you’re after a fun-loving companion with a big heart and boundless enthusiasm, Rigby might be your perfect match!
Rigby is a super-sweet, social girl who loves kids and other dogs in the home. She’s affectionate, goofy, and happiest when she’s part of the action, whether that’s joining you for a walk, playing in the yard, or snuggling up on the couch.
She’s toilet trained, crate trained, and nice and quiet overnight once she’s tucked into bed.
Like many young working breeds, Rigby is still learning about the world. She can get over-excited in the car and when seeing passing vehicles on walks, so she’ll need some ongoing positive training with a calm, confident handler. Off-leash, she already shows great recall and loves to please.
Rigby would love:
• A patient, experienced owner who understands high-energy working breeds
• A secure yard to safely run and play
• Someone willing to continue her lead training and provide regular exercise and enrichment
• Kids over 8 years old
In return, Rigby will bring endless joy, love, and laughter to your home. She’s a beautiful, affectionate young girl who’s ready to learn and grow with her forever family. 💛
Rigby is in foster care in Umina Beach, NSW. Her adoption fee is $700, and she is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas, ticks and worms, and microchipped.
