Rusty ~ Jack Russell Terrier (on trial 19/7/2017)

Hi, my name is Rusty. I am an experienced Jack Russell Terrier aged 9 years with a lot of great life skills that the younger generation just don't have these days. My skills include watching you eat, of course I will be secretly hoping that a treat comes my way and thus reducing your food intake. I can help you exercise as I don't mind a walk, encouraging you get out and about. I can warn you when people arrive, it's the least I can do to be your guard dog/ doorbell. But best of all, I can be your lap warmer, I won't jump up until you give me permission, but you will always have a warm lap while I am around.

Digging isn't really my thing and although I haven't come across cats or pocket pets, I don't think they would be my thing either, but my foster carer can tell you more about me.

Like a lot of small dogs, my first reaction is fear but it soon turns to trust. With this in mind, I my foster mum feels I am best suited to a home without small children. I am currently happily living with other dogs but I would enjoy living as an only dog. I am housetrained and I know how to use a doggy door.

I like to play, with other dogs, soft toys or with you, I’m happy either way. I don't look my age and my health is excellent. My foster mum suspects that among my skills I can also be a bed warmer, I’m just currently not being given the chance.

For more information or to meet Rusty, please contact his foster carer Anne on 0428 741 398 or email anne4drn@gmail.com. Rusty is in foster care in Singleton, NSW and is available for adoption interstate.

Rusty's adoption fee is $200 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered.
