Rusty (adopted May 2014) ~ puppy

Hi there, I'm Rusty a 6 month old male staffy cross kelpie who is looking for my ideal forever home, any chance you can help me out?

When you first meet me I am a little timid but once I become familiar with you, we will become the best of friends.

Being part staffy means I am people-oriented and will crave companionship from my new family, wherever you are means I will never be far behind. As long as you invest time in socialising me I will be friendly with everyone, yet still be a sensible watch dog.

I am exceptionally good with children of all ages and know I would just love being involved in all he family activities like car rides, walks, frolicking on the beach, and especially cuddling up with you for an evening of TV. You could say I am human with fur.

As I grow I will require rigorous exercise as an outlet for my energy and also to help me maintain my physique and splendid muscle tone.

Kelpie is also a part of my make up, this is one of the smartest breeds in the dog world, which means I will be fairly intelligent, making it easy for you to train me. It also means that I may be independent, and have a passion for keeping busy, so some good quality chew toys, and physical and mental stimulation will keep me entertained.

My ideal yard would be large to allow me to run around, and probably best to have relative high fences to keep me safe and confined to my yard.

Maybe may new family would even let me sleep inside of an evening, but if sleeping outside is required I am sure I would be okay when as long as I have a cosy kennel and nice bedding away from the harsh weather elements.
