If you are looking to open your heart to a vibrant, joyful companion, apply to adopt Rusty, a gorgeous 10-month-old Golden Retriever in Cape Town. Due to an urgent change in personal circumstances, his owner is legally and responsibly seeking a loving new home-to-home transition for this incredible boy.

Rusty’s Personality & Home Requirements
- Children: Excellent! Rusty has a fantastic temperament and is wonderful with kids.
- Other Dogs: Rusty currently has had no contact with other dogs. Because he is so friendly and social, he has immense potential, but a managed introduction or being the spoiled “only child” would suit him beautifully.
- Cats: Excellent! He is safe to join a home with feline friends.
- Sterilized: No
- House Training: Fully house-trained and reliable.
- Leash Training: Sort of! He is currently in progress with his leash manners, and because he is a strong 30kg puppy, he will love a family dedicated to continuing his basic training.
Because this is an urgent rehoming situation, we are prioritizing fully completed applications to ensure a swift, seamless transition.
