Ruddy's Story

TLDR:<br/>Likes:<br/>Being your constant shadow and demanding attention<br/>Puzzle toys (expert problem solver!)<br/>Doggy daycare and rough play with pals<br/>Dental treats (he's a hygiene enthusiast)<br/>Long, sniffy walks to explore the world<br/>Respectful of senior cats<br/>Dislikes:<br/>Boring plain kibble (mix it up to keep him happy!)<br/>Being ignored (you'll feel the guilt!)<br/>Sneaky snakes (he'll bark like a guard dog)<br/>Stubborn moments that require a bit of muscle to manage<br/>At about 7 years old and 70+ pounds, Ruddy is crate-trained, trustworthy, and ready for a fun-loving home!<br/>Full version:<br/>Likes:<br/>Being Your Shadow: Ruddy is the definition of a constant companion. He will not hesitate to whine like a toddler until you remind him you exist. If he's not beside you, he could be plotting a world takeover-or just waiting for you to call him over.<br/>Puzzle Toys: Nothing gets Ruddy's tail wagging quite like a challenging puzzle toy. He's a clever guy and his playtime can turn into an Olympic event. Watch him work it as if he's cracking the Da Vinci Code!<br/>Doggy Daycare: Ruddy is the life of the party! He loves frolicking with new doggy pals-just be ready for some rowdy wrestling and roughhousing. He plays like he's auditioning for a canine wrestling league!<br/>Dental Treats: Let's be honest; Ruddy believes dental hygiene is paramount. He loves dental treats like they're gourmet fine dining. Anything else? Well, he has a polite disappointment face for that, especially if it's plain kibble.<br/>Sniffing Walks: Long, sniffy walks? Count Ruddy in! He approaches walks as if he's mapping out a new territory. Forget about exercise; this is a full sensory expedition!<br/>Making Friends with Senior Cats: Ruddy respects the wisdom of senior cats. While they might not be his BFFs, he appreciates that they tolerate his charm.<br/>Dislikes:<br/>Plain Kibble: Bored, bored, bored! If it's just kibble, prepare for the dejected look that could rival the saddest dog meme. Mix it with some chunky wet food, and you'll see him transform from sad puppy to gourmet connoisseur!<br/>Being Ignored: If you dare to sit down without acknowledging him, he will remind you of your oversight in the most adorable yet guilt-inducing way. Consider yourself warned!<br/>The Silent Snake: Ruddy has a serious issue with stealthy serpents. If the pet snake moves, prepare for some enthusiastic barking. It's his way of saying, "Danger, a wiggly thing! Everyone to safety!"<br/>Being Told to Settle Down: While he's usually well-behaved, if Ruddy gets an idea into his stubborn head, preparing to outmuscle him may become part of your fitness routine.<br/>Ruddy is an estimated 7 years young with a bit of distinguished white in his expressive face. Weighing in at over 70 pounds, he could stand to shed a few pounds (or treat himself a bit less often). Crate-trained and trustworthy, he's a strong guy who needs a strong but loving hand to keep him on a leash-or, let's face it, just keep up with his exuberance!<br/>If you're ready for a faithful companion who believes that life is all about engagement (whether through play or mischief), then Ruddy is your guy! Come meet this lovable goofball and see if you can handle his charming antics! <br/><br/>Interested in this sweet dog?
