Rudy

**Meet Rudy! ❤️**<br/><br/>Rudy is a **15-month-old** young dog who came to our rescue as part of a lively litter of **11 puppies**, along with their mom. His mom’s DNA testing confirmed she is a **Malinois/German Shepherd mix**, and because the puppies all looked so different, DNA testing was done on several of them. Two siblings tested as an even mix of **Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Husky, and Malinois**, while another tested as **50% Australian Shepherd** mixed with mom’s **Malinois/German Shepherd** lineage—making this a true multi-dad litter.<br/><br/>While Rudy hasn’t had his own DNA test yet, his **identical-looking brother** was tested and came back as **50% Australian Shepherd**, so we expect Rudy’s mix to be very similar and place him in the **Australian Shepherd / Malinois / German Shepherd** group.<br/><br/>Rudy is a **ball of energy** with a big personality. He loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs, though he definitely likes to be in charge. While he’s a bit smaller than some of his siblings, he more than holds his own and keeps up just fine.<br/><br/>Rudy is also a **total cuddle bug** who loves attention and being close to his people. He can take a little longer than his siblings to warm up to new people, but once he does, he’s completely devoted. Like his brothers and sisters, Rudy is **playful, curious, cuddly, and always sweet and loving**.<br/><br/>Rudy is an **active dog** who will need daily exercise and regular activity to stay happy and balanced. He enjoys splashing in the kiddie pools but isn’t quite as water-obsessed as some of his siblings.<br/><br/>He is curious about the goats at the rescue but has shown **no aggression**, and he’s shown little interest in the chickens when they’re in their coop. Rudy has not been tested with cats and does have some prey drive, so a cat-free home may be the best fit.<br/><br/>Rudy is **potty trained**, **vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered**, and fully ready to head home.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate dog with a bit of confidence and a whole lot of love to give, **Rudy is ready to find his perfect family** 🐾💙
