Rudy’s Personality – Play Outside, Snuggle Inside
Rudy has one of those personalities that offers a little bit of everything.
He’s playful, social and engaged when there’s fun to be had, but he doesn’t believe every waking moment needs to be filled with activity.
Rudy loves people and genuinely enjoys their company. He wants to participate in family life rather than spend his days on the sidelines.
Give him a ball and he’s ready to play.
Pick up a rope and he’ll happily challenge you to tug-of-war.
But once everyone comes inside and settles down, Rudy is equally enthusiastic about his next activity:
cuddling and sleeping.
That combination could make Rudy an especially enjoyable companion for someone who wants a dog who enjoys activity but also knows how wonderful it is to simply relax together.
He’s smart, listens well, and at three years old has moved beyond the tiny-puppy stage while still being a young dog with many years of companionship ahead of him.
Rudy’s Favorite Toys and Activities
Two things rank particularly high on Rudy’s list:
Balls and ropes.
He loves playing with balls and is always happy to engage in a good game of tug-of-war.
Interactive play is also a wonderful way for Rudy to spend quality time with his people—which is exactly where he wants to be.
Afterward, he’s more than willing to join you for some serious relaxation.
Rudy and the Backyard Squirrel
Some dogs chase squirrels.
Apparently, Rudy decided to befriend one instead.
At his former home, Rudy encountered a squirrel in the backyard. Rather than becoming mortal enemies in the traditional dog-versus-squirrel fashion, the unlikely pair became friends.
His owner says they became very good friends.
We can’t guarantee that every squirrel Rudy meets will receive the same diplomatic treatment, of course, but it’s a wonderfully quirky little story that says something about this affectionate dog’s personality.
Rudy likes company.
Apparently he’s just not terribly particular about the species.
Why Is Rudy Being Rehomed?
Rudy needs a new home where he can enjoy the stability, companionship and ongoing care that every dog deserves.
His family wants to make sure that rather than simply finding somewhere for Rudy to go, he is matched with people who genuinely want him to become a permanent part of their lives.
Because we have not been given additional details about the circumstances leading to Rudy’s rehoming, prospective adopters with questions are welcome to inquire.
The important thing now is finding Rudy a safe, loving and permanent home where his next chapter can begin.
Rudy’s Perfect Adoptive Home
Rudy isn’t asking for anything extravagant.
His ideal home is simply a stable, loving one with people who have the time and ability to care for him properly and who genuinely enjoy having their dog around.
He would love people who will play with him, talk to him, include him in everyday life and—perhaps most importantly—make room beside them when it’s time to relax.
Because Rudy’s owner reports that he does well with children, dogs and cats, a variety of family arrangements may be possible for him.
As with any adoption involving resident animals, thoughtful introductions are always recommended.
Rudy could be a wonderful choice for a family, couple or individual looking for an affectionate medium-sized dog who offers both playful companionship and plenty of cuddle time.
What matters most is permanence.
Rudy deserves to know that when he settles down beside his person at the end of the day, he’s finally home.

Is There Room Beside You for Rudy?
Sometimes the dog who fits into your life isn’t the one with the most dramatic story.
It’s the one who simply makes everyday life better.
The dog waiting to greet you when you come home.
The dog who brings you his rope because it’s obviously time for tug-of-war.
The dog stretched out nearby while you’re doing absolutely nothing.
The dog who inches closer until “sitting beside you” has somehow turned into “sitting practically on you.”
That’s Rudy.
He’s young, healthy, smart, playful and affectionate. He’s house trained and crate trained. His owner reports that he’s good with children, dogs and cats.
And somewhere in his past is at least one squirrel who apparently considered him a friend.
Now Rudy needs a human best friend.
Someone who can give him the stability and permanence he deserves—and who wouldn’t mind having a 45-pound cuddle buddy occupying part of the couch.
Could that be you?
