About Rusty
Rusty is an older girl with plenty of life left in her paws and lots of adventures still to enjoy! She would love a home where she can enjoy the company of her favourite humans. She might not be a lap dog, but she’s more than happy to be your sidekick, keeping you company throughout the day!
Rusty loves a good game of ball, sunbathing in the garden and having a good roll around in the grass. A secure garden would be perfect for her to potter about in and enjoy her favourite outdoor activities at her own pace.
Rusty is looking for an adult-only home with no visiting children and no other pets. She can find other dogs very overwhelming, so she’ll need an experienced owner who understands reactivity and can offer her quiet walking routes or secure paddock adventures where she can enjoy some freedom without unexpected canine encounters.
She has previously been comfortable being left for a few hours at a time, too. If you’re looking for a mature lady who still has a playful side and knows exactly how she likes to spend her days, Rusty could be the perfect companion!
Suited to: Adults only. Other pets: No other pets.
