Rusty, Australian cattle dog mix
Rusty is a cheeky male Australian cattle dog mix in the care of DFW Rescue Me.
Rusty loves other dogs. But, his ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Fear not: He is already house-trained, vaccinated and neutered.
Rusty's current caretakers say:
Rusty is a healthy Australian cattle dog (red heeler), who was born in November 2009. He is known to chase cats, squirrels and possums. He enjoys walking and playing in the grass and will chase a ball. He is highly intelligent, and a professional trainer who examined him deemed him "a good boy."
