About Rusty

Hey there, I’m Rusty! I’m a 2-year-old Ridgeback mix (mixed with who knows what, but it sure makes me extra special!). At 37kg of pure goofball energy, I’m looking for an experienced owner who knows how to handle a big, strong boy like me. My previous owner described me as affectionate, playful, and calm—I love attention, going for walks, and, most importantly, cuddles! I may be a big dog, but I think I’d fit perfectly on your couch (or your lap if you let me!). I enjoy the company of other dogs and love a good play session, but I play rough, so any potential doggy siblings will need to meet me first to make sure we’re a good match. I’d also do best in a home with confident kids over 12, as I can be a bit boisterous when I get excited.

Now, let’s talk training... I’m a smart boy, but let’s just say I like to do things my way. If you’re after a dog who learns tricks in five minutes, I might not be your guy—but if you’re patient and can make training fun, I promise to give it my best shot!

If you’re looking for a big, loveable goofball who will keep you entertained and shower you with affection, I might just be the perfect match. Come meet me—I can’t wait to find my forever home!
