Hi, my name is Rusty and I am 6 years old. I don’t recall the first 2 years of my life however I was rescued from the pound by a lovely elderly gentleman and spent 4 great years with him. Sadly due to his aging he has caringly decided to surrender me to DCH knowing that my new foster carer Rod would find me a perfect new loving home.
I am a very pretty, smart active girl with a cheeky infectious smile. I am gentle with children and am not aggressive, walk well on the lead. I would suit an active young family or individual with time to share with me as I love human company. My daily walks and leash free runs are part of my kelpie nature and I love them. I am slowly learning to be in the company of other dogs and feel more comfortable around male dogs at this time however have no doubt that I will improve the more I am socialised. Tummy rubs are my favourite and please pat me all you like  I sleep inside or outside in a kennel under shelter. I like to be inside especially during the winter months. I am toilet trained.
I believe Rusty is an absolute dream to look after. Being cheeky at times adds to her playful character. I have noticed she can be a bit fussy with food, though together we are working to improve that. She has become an amazing companion and is not at all an attention barker. She has come from a loving family and we would like her forever home to be just as special.
