Rusty’s Retreat – Premium Boarding for Senior & Special Needs Dogs
Compassionate care. Comfortable surroundings. Tailored support for your Golden Oldie.
A Calm & Loving Home Away From Home
At Dogs Country Club & Kennel Resort, we know just how much love and care our senior dogs and special needs guests deserve. That’s why we created Rusty’s Retreat, a quiet, purpose-built space designed with older dogs in mind.
Originally developed to support our elderly and geriatric guests, Rusty’s Retreat has become a beloved part of our resort. Over time, our reputation in senior dog boarding in Melbourne has grown, leading us to open a second facility, We Love Dogs Kennel Resort, to meet the unique needs of aging pups.
We still proudly use Rusty’s Retreat for guests at Dogs Country Club who need a little extra TLC.
