Rudy's Story
Meet Rudy (AKA Rudy the Cutie)<br/><br/>This 7yearold, 8pound terrier boy recently lost his person, and he's been bravely learning that life can be joyful again. With each passing day, Rudy is rediscovering fun, connection, and all the routines that make a dog feel safe and loved.<br/><br/>Rudy's best qualities:<br/> Great eater and motivated by treats<br/> Walks beautifully on leash<br/> Potties outside<br/> Curious about toys<br/> Seeks human affection and connection<br/> LOVES walks - he's surprisingly athletic for a little guy<br/> Good with other dogs<br/> Shy at first but warms up quickly with kindness (and snacks)<br/> Happy tailwagger<br/> Not a barker<br/><br/>Rudy bonds deeply with his humans and may express some separation anxiety with howling when left alone. He's not being "naughty" - he just loves his people and is still adjusting to big changes in his life. With patience, routine, and reassurance, he'll continue to grow more confident.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, sensitive companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side - on walks, on the couch, or anywhere love is offered - Rudy the Cutie might be your perfect match. <br/><br/>To view videos, click on links:https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1GBN8SDVCP/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BwvQqGJFX/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.facebook.com/share/r/18a2fRhNhn/?mibextid=wwXIfr<br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EdTh2qwQn/?mibextid=wwXIfr<br/><br/>https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1SbqX7kdLw/?mibextid=wwXIfr<br/><br/>Rudy is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. <br/><br/>Rudy's adoption fee is $ 275<br/><br/>This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.
