Hi everyone, my name is Rue
Rue is a sweet, affectionate Kelpie who absolutely adores her people. She loves being involved in family life and is happiest when she’s by your side, whether you’re out exploring or relaxing at home.
As a clever and very quick learner, Rue is eager to continue her training and will thrive with an active family who can include her in their daily adventures while helping to build her confidence. She enjoys having both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep her happy.
Rue is looking for a home with a secure backyard where she has plenty of space to run, play, and burn off her energy. She would be best suited to a home without young children, where she can continue to grow in confidence in a calm and supportive environment.
If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion to share an active lifestyle with, Rue could be the perfect addition to your family.
If you would like to meet Rue please fill out an expression of interest form and we will give you a call.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
