About Rusty
Rusty is a handsome dark chocolate/red dog who is friendly and sociable to all he meets. Rusty is quiet-natured for a kelpie pup, doesn't demonstrate any of the "working dog drive" or high energy, and he is housetrained to use a flap door to take himself outside to toilet. He is quite the faithful shadow when someone is home, preferring to hang about nearby to wherever you are working, whether in the garden or in the kitchen. Left to himself, he likes to chew toys in the yard or just doze in the shade.
Rusty would be ideal for an owner who wants a companion dog. Bond with him and he will be your loyal best friend forever.
Rusty spent the first few months of his puppyhood travelling with a retiree in a caravan, until he was surrendered due to illness.
Rusty is located in WAGGA WAGGA, a five-hour drive from Sydney or Melbourne.
This pet will come microchipped, but council registration - if required in your state or territory - is not included in the adoption fee.
Medical notes
Rusty caught parvovirus while caravanning with his former owner and was surrendered to rescue because of it. He spent 12 days in our vet's ICU. He has fully recovered from his illness now and is ready for a loving forever home.
