On the 7th day of Christmas, Rudy says, “Baby it’s cold outside!” Rudy may have hunting dog DNA and would like to chase his fair share of small prey, but he’s clearly a fair weather dog. He loves his sweaters and to snuggle with a blanket (and you). He’s not a fan of this colder weather and he doesn’t particularly care to get his feet wet either.If you have a sofa and a soft fuzzy blanket to share, Rudy is your guy!To apply for Rudy, the link is in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on regular preventatives for flea/tick/heartworms. Let’s find Rudy a warm place to snuggle this Christmas, please share!! ... See MoreSee Less

On the 6th day of Christmas, Rudy is still waiting. Six months turned into a year and he still doesn’t have a family. We can’t comprehend it either. While we understand these posts are pulling hard on heartstrings. Making the decision to bring Rudy into your family is a lifetime decision. This can’t be guided purely on emotion alone. Loving Rudy will be the easy part, but can you :* Financially provide for him including adequate veterinary care* Commit to providing him with exercise to keep his hip limber and moving* He’s received obedience training, but that’s only good if you continue to work with him* Willing to share your sofa and preferably your bed too (Rudy’s request)* Pledge to make him your forever dog.* Provide an abundance of dog treats and toys (this is also Rudy’s request 🙂)We are looking for adopters with a stellar veterinary history. Other pets in your home MUST be spay/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on prevention for flea/tick/heartworm. To apply for Rudy see link in the comments below. You know what to do facebook friends, SHARE!! ... See MoreSee Less
