My name is Rudolph!

Rudolph (Rudy for short) is a gentle soul who is learning to be more confident in his own skin. He has the roundest most curious eyeballs, always wanting to follow you around and see what is the next adventure. He needs a confident dog in the home to show him the ropes and model good behavior. Rudolph isn't always the best at reading dog cues so a patient pal is best!

Rudy loves kids! When he sees kids, as young as 7, he has the cutest little whimper that he will continue until you let him go and play with the children. He loves to hug them and lay on their laps and just do anything and everything the children are doing. He loves to play with chew toys with the other six dogs in the house. He is gentle with cats and enjoys cuddling them when he is sleeping. Rudy is a companion that would prefer the least amount of time away from his humans as possible. He knows the word "kennel" when asked and is working on his manners to exit the kennel politely.    Click here to see a cute video of him!

He would love a family that walks him and runs him and takes him on adventures to broaden his experiences all while loving you to the moon and back.

Rudolph is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
