To know Rudy is to love him. Rudy was living at a shelter in Texas after being left behind when his owner got evicted. His physical condition makes it obvious he lived a life of neglect and abandonment, however, his happy-go-lucky demeanor shows you just how ready he is to start his next chapter! Rudy’s happy, loving, kind, and gentle nature are a constant reminder of how grateful he is to be safe. Sometimes he’ll even vocalize that gratitude with his wonderful singing voice, adorable whimpers, and cute groans. As good as he is at telling stories, he is also a very good listener. He follows commands wonderfully and usually only needs to be told something once. He ADORES kids and very obviously lights up when he’s around them. He gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats, he is fully potty trained, and he can be left out while you’re away without any issues. Medically, Rudy has been given a clean bill of health and just needs to continue to gain weight and improve his skin. He exudes sweetness and strength, happiness and playfulness. He deserves nothing but the best, and it is his time to find his happily ever after. If you want a dog that makes you smile every single day, Rudy is your man!
