Meet Rudy, a loyal best friend and protector who lights up when you're around and will always be your biggest fan! This handsome fellow is 6 years old and eager for the chance at his very own family and a place to call his forever home. Rudy loves playing with toys, especially tug, playing with his canine foster sister, and being near you. His favorite thing is to hold hands! He's happy to relax on the couch with you but also enjoys activities like romping around in the snow, splashing in the kiddie pool, or a good frozen kong. Rudy prefers to keep his circle small and is still learning how to navigate the world! He would love an adopter who can help him have positive experiences when taking on new challenges. Your heart and your home will never be empty if you adopt this gentle giant. Rudy's adoption fee has been generously sponsored. His genetic makeup includes: American Pit Bull Terrier (45.1%), Supermutt (28.2%), and German Shepherd Dog (26.7%).
Ideal Home
Rudy would do best with older kids due to his size and exuberant personality. He thrives with a routine and uses a bell on the door to let you know when he has to go potty. He would ideally have a yard.
Ongoing Health
Rudy is neutered and fully healthy! He is up to date on vaccines and microchipped.
Training & Support
Rudy has shown some fear-based reactivity to strangers and other dogs on walks including pulling, barking, and jumping. He wears a muzzle trained on walks and would benefit from continuing to work on this in a quiet neighborhood. He loves other dogs and finds comfort and confidence when with another dog. Rudy is very intense when first meeting dogs, and it may take a little time to introduce him to a resident dog. He shares well, loves to play, and reads cues well. His cat-friendliness is currently unknown.
