About Rue
*Please note: Rue is currently enjoying foster care and is not located at the shelter full-time. If you are interested in meeting her, please mention this in your enquiry so our foster carer can arrange to bring her in for a meet and greet. Because she is in foster care, same-day enquiries and same-day meet & greets are unfortunately not possible.*
Meet Rue, a happy and playful puppy looking for a loving new family! Rue is the perfect blend of goofiness and affection, with a personality that will bring endless joy to your home. Whether you're a first-time pet owner or an experienced handler, Rue's heartwarming charm is bound to win you over.
Rue is highly trainable and motivated by both food and toys, making him an excellent student for basic training sessions. While he may get jumpy when excited, his focus on people and eagerness to learn make him a wonderful companion. Rue thrives in homes with multiple dogs and kids of all ages and gets along well with cats too. He's ideal for families with full-time workers, as long as there's some time for fun and mental enrichment to keep him entertained.
Friendly and affectionate, Rue will bond closely with you and loves to play with both people and other dogs. But as a puppy, he is still learning all about the world and would greatly benefit from socialization to help him grow into a well-rounded pet. Keep him busy with activities to prevent him from being destructive out of boredom.
Rue is on a quest for a family that can shower him with love, playtime, and guidance. If you're looking for a curious and playful pal who's full of energy, Rue might just be the perfect match for your lifestyle!

Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for February
10am-1pm
Sat 14th
Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
