Jude's Story

Let’s just say Jude stole a page out of Reese Witherspoon’s playbook and became America’s Sweetheart.<br/><br/>She’s got the heart of Drew Barrymore,<br/>The kindness of Jennifer Garner,<br/>And cuddles harder than Keanu Reeves hugging a puppy.<br/><br/>Always dolled up with her hair done, nails did, and diaper game strong— she serves RuPaul level runway realness on the daily. <br/><br/>Her booty wags harder than Shakira’s hips at the Super Bowl.<br/>She’s sassier than Cardi B,<br/>Perkier than Kristen Bell,<br/>Parties harder than Miley Cyrus,<br/>Flirts like Harry Styles,<br/>And steals hearts faster than Taylor Swift dropping easter eggs for her next album!<br/><br/>She’s funnier than Melissa McCarthy,<br/>Dorkier than Adam Brody as the hot rabbi,<br/>And more determined to thrive than Beyoncé crafting a country album—even though she walks and bobbles like Johnny Depp drunk on a pirate ship. <br/><br/>And yes, she definitely lives for the spotlight even more than Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala.<br/><br/>This gorgeous, quirky, dorky, diaper-wearing queen has overcome more than most dogs ever will—and now she’s ready to bring her sparkle, sass, and soul to the perfect forever home. <br/><br/>_____________________________________<br/><br/>Meet Jude – the dog who defied the odds and never stopped smiling.<br/>This 3 year old, 45 lb Pocket Pittie mix is pure magic in a wiggly little package. She may be considered “special needs,” but to everyone who meets her, she’s simply extra special.<br/><br/>Jude is sweet, silly, affectionate, and lights up every room she enters. She loves everyone—adults, kids, other dogs (especially puppies!), and even cats. If you're looking for a forever best friend who will love you unconditionally and make you laugh every single day, Jude’s your girl. <br/><br/>Full transparency: Jude is incontinent and wears diapers throughout the day. She needs her diapers changed about 7–10 times daily and has a full wardrobe of fashionable options for every occasion. She does best without diapers when crated or in her baby playpen to prevent yeast or UTIs.<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>JUDE'S JOURNEY:<br/>Rescued from a Detroit alley in 2022, Jude couldn’t walk or stand. Initial diagnoses included swimmer syndrome and cerebellar hypoplasia, but further testing revealed a large cyst on her brain. After surgery and a full year of intensive rehab, Jude walks—wobbly but determined—and is more mobile than anyone ever expected.<br/><br/>Her transformation is nothing short of a miracle.<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>WHY WE LOVE JUDE:<br/>She might not be running marathons, but Jude keeps up in her own charming way! Whether she’s:<br/><br/>-Wrestling her foster siblings<br/>- Playing with toys<br/>- Painting masterpieces<br/>- Getting a mani & pedi<br/>- Watching movies<br/>- Cruising in her stroller for walkies<br/>- Gardening outside<br/>- Watching butterflies<br/>- Enjoying cuddle time<br/><br/>She’s always present, loving, and 100% Jude.<br/><br/>Her foster dad calls her “the dog version of Ellen DeGeneres”—beautiful, hilarious, full of love, and always making people smile.<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:<br/>- A home with another dog to bond with (or someone who works from home)<br/>- Must be able to lift 50–55 lbs multiple times a day<br/>- Jude must be allowed on furniture—where she feels safest and most comfortable<br/>- Commitment to chiropractic care every 3 months and acupuncture once a year<br/>- Willingness to help Jude with her daily stretching routine<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>Watch Jude in Action!<br/><br/>Jude Walking:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/v/kpfUmeBD4nYhxoeV/?mibextid=oFDknk<br/><br/>- Jumping Off the Couch:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/v/m1M7f5iXW9rJ6zcE/?mibextid=oFDknk<br/><br/>- Stroller Walks:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/v/ZTsEzxineSQdbACG/?mibextid=oFDknk<br/><br/>Specialist Medical Update:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/p/7S2V5RwS2B3ERmKA/?mibextid=oFDknk<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $200<br/><br/>Included with Adoption: <br/>- Spay surgery<br/>- Microchip<br/>- Rabies, distemper, parvo, bordetella, and lepto vaccines<br/>- Heartworm test<br/>- Fecal test<br/>- Current flea/tick & heartworm prevention<br/><br/>Jude also comes with her essentials (and a little extra glam):<br/>- Her wheelchair (not her fave, but included)<br/>- Her beloved stroller (this is her vibe)<br/>- Her dog trampoline (sofa access = independence)<br/>- Her full wardrobe—including washable diaper collection and her favorite outfits!<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>READY TO APPLY?<br/> Apply here: LAHPDOGRESCUE.COM<br/><br/>View all adoptables: LAHP.Petfinder.com<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>STAY CONNECTED:<br/>Facebook: facebook.com/HelpUsHelpThemDogRescue<br/>Instagram: @helpushelpthemdogrescue<br/>TikTok: @helpushelpthemdogrescue<br/><br/>____________________________________<br/><br/>Love Jude’s Story?

Let’s just say Jude stole a page out of Reese Witherspoon’s playbook and became America’s Sweetheart.

She’s got the heart of Drew Barrymore,
The kindness of Jennifer Garner,
And cuddles harder than Keanu Reeves hugging a puppy.

Always dolled up with her hair done, nails did, and diaper game strong— she serves RuPaul level runway realness on the daily.

Her booty wags harder than Shakira’s hips at the Super Bowl.
She’s sassier than Cardi B,
Perkier than Kristen Bell,
Parties harder than Miley Cyrus,
Flirts like Harry Styles,
And steals hearts faster than Taylor Swift dropping easter eggs for her next album!

She’s funnier than Melissa McCarthy,
Dorkier than Adam Brody as the hot rabbi,
And more determined to thrive than Beyoncé crafting a country album—even though she walks and bobbles like Johnny Depp drunk on a pirate ship.

And yes, she definitely lives for the spotlight even more than Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala.
