History: Rudy is a super handsome puppy who arrived to rescue at just a few days old with his littermates and mom, Adora. They settled into rescue and unfortunately broke with ringworm . They have all healed and ready to find their forever homes!

A Note from the Foster: Rudy is an eye grabbing white pup with the biggest heart and the sweetest temperament. He was a little nervous when he originally came to our home; his human foster siblings (3 & 6 y.o) are loud, unpredictable and move erratically. However, in 2 days, he accepted them and now loves them dearly. He’d sleep in their bed if his foster mom allowed it. Rudy also enjoys playing with other dogs. There are currently 2 large dogs in his home that he enjoys wrestling with. Rudy is medium to lower energy; so, he gets enough exercise playing in his fenced yard and taking short strolls around the neighborhood.

Rudy is potty trained, and keeps his kennel clean all night long. However, he has submissive pee’d a few times - when nervous (at vet) or when startled (when mom was grabbing him in attempt to clip his nails); maybe she should leave that to the professionals. 😉 As he is still a puppy, it is likely he will outgrow this. Speaking of growing, Rudy’s large size (~47 lbs and growing), makes his mom feel extra secure when taking evening walks. All in all, Rudy is a sweet and handsome boy who needs someone to give him a chance. He’ll capture the hearts of his new family as he did with his foster family.

Adoption Fee: $750 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
