Rusty - 4 year old male cattle dog - NSW

Rusty is a beautiful boy who just loves spending time with his humans, although he will happily stay home with no issues if you need to go out and leave him. He loves all people he meets and will happily accept a scratch behind the ear from anyone willing to offer one.

He enjoys going on adventures and loves going for a swim down at the river. He walks well on the lead and has been doing really well with recalls – we have been learning a whistle recall, and he is coming along really well with that. We’ve also been doing place training, so Rusty will sit on his mat when inside calmly; crate training; sit and stay; and leave it. His training is progressing really well, and he just loves his training sessions.

To meet, adopt or find out more details about Rusty, please read our page on the adoption process and then fill out our adoption questionnaire.
