Rudie

My name is Rudie, and not only am I a strapping pup; I'm adaptable and affectionate. My friends tell me that my paws are huge, but don’t worry, I know how to use them gently. My activity level and bark show my puppy personality, but after a burst of playful energy, I love to relax next to my human. You may not be able to tell in my picture, but my forehead wrinkles come from my Shar-Pei side, are soft like silk, and will feel nice as I lean into you and give you lots of cuddles.

 

Although I'm only around 1 year old, I'm learning how to consistently sit and stay. I can walk with a human holding my leash, and I do well with another dog walking with me. I like to protect my human and bark and pull at passersby, but I'm beginning to learn to just keep walking when my human asks me to follow. 

 

I'm curious in the kitchen and like to check out what is happening on the counters - I LOVE to eat! I'm okay if I'm asked to wait behind a gate to keep my paws protected and will excitedly watch from the safety of the other side. Treats are a favorite, and I'll take them gently if you give me a reminder.

 

I've spent most of my life at the Humane Society, but I have had sleepovers with a couple of other families and their fur babies. I adapt quickly to new places, and I get along great with other dogs. I'm always up for a tug-of-war or wrestling session, and I listen well when I'm told to take the action outdoors. Oh! And I really like to play with kids too- especially with a tug toy and a ball to fetch. I can’t wait to find my forever family to grow up with. So, what do you say?

 

ADOPT RUDIE!
