My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rusty! He's a four year old miniature Australian shepherd who weighs 17 pounds. This adorable boy is loving and loyal with people he knows and trusts. He will always be right near you and is incredibly intelligent -- he enjoys training and eager to please.

He's a nervous nelly and needs a confident owner who will give him lots of structure. Rusty can be reactive to moving objects and territorial of his home like many herding breeds. This boy would love a home out of a busy city with space to run. He's done well with confident dogs and could live with another dog. He is crate trained.

His new home must be adults only and adopters must have previous dog experience. Meet and greets for Rusty will be by scheduled appointment after an approved application. If you are interested in meeting please fill out an application at our website www.gobeyondrescue.org/adopt. Our adoption fee is $450 and includes spay/neuter, microchipping and up to date vaccines. We adopt within 200 miles of San Francisco.
