Rudy

My story

Meet Rudy, the best sidekick you could ask for. The kind, goofy guy who loves to feel included - even if it just means getting to sit in the same room as you! Rudy is ready for adventures with his favorite people where he can experience some quiet moments of solitude out in nature. Our shelter's dog walking volunteers think he's the perfect outdoor companion saying that "he leaps right into my car and settles in happily, looking out the windows and catching some fresh air. He's terrific on on our adventures overall yet he prefers plenty of space from other pets and people. He's an absolute delight and sits nicely for treats (takes them gently, too) and does great in the car. Rudy loves going out to explore wide open spaces He's such a sweetheart and loves rolling in the mulch near the trees at City Park." Volunteers here report that Rudy has been making great improvements on his outings and expect to see him continue to improve! Rudy brings a calm, easy-to-handle energy that makes every outing a joy. Even when he shows a lot of excitement over seeing a squirrel or dog in the distance, he is able to refocus quite well with the support of his person! This boy is known as "Uncle Rudy" around here because of how much he enjoys playing with our younger, smaller pups and showing them the ways of the world. While Rudy may enjoy some supervised playtime with dog friends here at the shelter, he has trouble sharing his things and living spaces and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He’s truly a soulful companion, ready to spread his love and gentle, loyal energy with his new family. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, and easygoing dog who will be your hiking buddy, car ride co-pilot, and best friend — Rudy truly is your guy.
