About Rusty
Meet Rusty - your loyal best friend
Rusty is a handsome Kelpie x German Shepherd, approximately 18 months old who is looking for a loving forever home.
With the best qualities of both breeds, Rusty is intelligent, eager to please and loves being part of the action. He is an affectionate and devoted companion who thrives on attention and positive interaction.
Rusty forms strong bonds with his people and responds beautifully to kindness, praise and plenty of love.
Currently in foster care, Rusty has impressed his carers with how quickly he has learned household routines and rules. He is a very smart switched on dog who enjoys learning and has all the hallmarks of a highly trainable companion. As a young dog he will benefit from an owner who is committed to continuing his training to help him reach his full potential.
Rusty can happily spend periods of time indoors and outdoors and settles well when left alone. He is content, well mannered and enjoys being part of the household.
He is best suited to a quieter home environment where he can feel secure and build a strong connection with his family. Rusty is not suitable for a home with cats.
An active owner who enjoys walks, training and including their dog in daily life would be the perfect match for this clever and loving young dog.
If you are looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and plenty of potential, Rusty could be the perfect addition to your family.
