Rouger

Meet Rouger ❤️
The definition of an absolute gentleman!

This gorgeous 8-year-old Kelpie is as sweet, gentle and handsome as they come. Rouger has spent much of his life working as a sheep dog, but unfortunately, due to his owner's health circumstances, the difficult decision was made to surrender him.

Don't let his age fool you, though. Rouger might be slowing down a little compared to his younger working days, but he's certainly not ready to hang up his boots just yet! He still shows plenty of interest in sheep and has also shown an interest in cattle. We think he'd absolutely love a home on a small hobby farm where he can potter around, keep an eye on the livestock, have a little job to do and then spend the rest of his day snoozing in the sun. A much slower pace of farm life would suit this boy perfectly.

A few things about Rouger:
🐾 Ute rides are his love language! If you've lost Rouger, there's a pretty good chance you'll find him sitting on the Ute tray, patiently waiting for someone to take him on an adventure.
🐾 Walks fairly well on a lead and has good recall.
🐾 Mostly toilet trained.
🐾 Great with chickens and cats.
🐾 Has been wonderful with all the children he's met.
🐾 When it comes to other dogs, he's a bit like the dad of the group. He's generally very tolerant, gentle and happy to coexist, but he's not afraid to give a little reminder if the youngsters get a bit too much in his face. He appreciates a bit of personal space!

At 8 years old, Rouger technically falls into the senior category, but he's still got plenty of life and love to give. He enjoys getting out for a walk or run, especially if there's a chance of checking on some sheep along the way.

We're looking for someone who can appreciate everything this beautiful boy has to offer. He doesn't need a fast-paced lifestyle or hours of exercise every day. Just a loving home, a comfortable bed, a few adventures, perhaps some livestock to keep an eye on and someone to call his own.

Rouger has spent much of his life working for someone else. Now it's time for him to find a home where he can enjoy life, be loved and simply be someone's very special boy. ❤

And just a little note about Rouger's handsome ears! Apparently, they must taste delicious because the flies have been having an absolute feast. 😂 He has some fly-related scarring on his ears which may not heal completely, but thankfully it doesn't bother him at all. He's been checked over by our vet and we're simply applying cream twice daily to keep them moisturised and those pesky flies away.
