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 :( The good news- they are doing really really well and on the mend so are now officially ready to find their forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Rudy is a large puppy weighing in at ~40lbs at 5 months old. He is a good boy who is completely kennel trained and potty trained! Although, while acclimating to his new home, he would submissive pee when startled. Additionally, he barked at the kids (3- & 6-year-olds) for the first few days, as he had previously not been around small children. He has adjusted to the kids and has settled into his new home wonderfully with little to know submissive tinkles.

Rudy is not considered high energy and does not vocalize a lot. He enjoys long snoozes in his foster mom's office while she works. He'll even follow her around when it's time to stretch or go for lunch. Being a large breed with a deeper bark, Rudy provides his foster mom with a sense of security and comfort.

All around, Rudy is a complete honey who enjoys people, dogs and belly rubs. 

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!
