About Me
ADOPTED! Rudy is a shy young boy, who needs some time to feel comfortable with you. Once you win his confidence he is very sweet and affectionate. He has a strong need for company, a person or another dog will do, but he doesn't do well left on his own. He is a very soft and sensitive boy and needs someone who understands his nature, speaks softly to him and avoids sudden gestures. He is very good with other dogs and children and, in his cautious manner, likes to meet people too. Most of his shyness will go away with enough socialization and we are working on building his confidence. So far, he hasn't shown much interest in toys or balls. At home, he is quiet and well mannered. He is used to being on furniture and will sneak on the bed at night and snuggle up tight. Expect to be showered with kisses in the morning. He is eager to go for walks and car rides and has good leash manners for his age. Rudy has demonstrated that he can jump a 6ft block wall and will need someone who can manage a jumper. Will only be adopted to a family either with another dog or where someone is home much of the time. He loves to play with other dogs, and he can break out of a crate if left alone with no other dogs or people around.
