Rudy (adoption pending) Boxer & Labrador Retriever Mix Crown Point, IN

Meet Rudy.  He is almost 3 1/2 years old, and spent 3 of those years living in a shelter.  Why he never found his forever home is beyond us, as he is genuinely the sweetest dog ever.  Rudy does have separation anxiety so he does need to be crated if nobody is home.  Ideally he would be adopted by someone who doesn't work or works from home so he isn't left alone 8-10 hours each day.  He is good with cats, a little anxious around new dogs but we are working on that.  He wants NOTHING more than to be your best friend.  He wants to cuddle and hug and kiss his favorite people all day long.  He listens very well, is housebroken, smart and affectionate.  It's amazing that after spending the vast majority of his life in a cage at the shelter that he is so well adjusted and happy (aside from the separation anxiety, but everyone has their Achilles' heel).  We absolutely adore this guy and we know you will, too.  He deserves the perfect forever home to make up for his 3 lost years. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Our Official Website. All of our dogs are or will be spayed or neutered prior to leaving rescue or shortly after. All adoption donations REQUIRE spay or neuter. Our dogs receive a distemper shot(s), rabies, and worming (we recommend having your vet do a fecal to ensure there are no parasites left) ether before they leave or included with surgery if done at our preferred vet clinics. We treat for fleas as needed and provide our foster dogs with heartworm medication. You will receive a medical record detailing what your dog has received, which may include microchipping. Donations are non-refundable, however, we do offer a ten day trial, which must be stated on your application. Our pets may come with an offer for insurance. Please ask for details. We strongly suggest training for all dogs to help create a bond between companion and owner. We can recommend trainers in and around Northwest Indiana. ABRA dogs are fed well and we recommend premium dog food such as Canidae, Wellness, Evo, Earthborn, Kirkland (sold only at Costco) and a raw food diet. We highly encourage adopters to keep their new dog on a high quality food. Our pregnant dogs are fed raw food and we start newborn puppies on raw as well. We believe the health of your animal is dictated by how well it is treated, what it is fed, an appropriate vaccine or holistic prevention, and how it is socialized. All Breeds are good breeds! We receive many dogs from dog auction, so any dog over the age of two that comes from a dog auction is examined for a teeth cleaning prior to adoption. Our adoption donations vary and are based on the overall cost of the dog and the expenses we inherit when they come from shelters or the dog auction.
