Meet RUDY. He’s a real sweetie pie who will soak up allll the love you have to give him. It’s heartwarming! His number one hobby is snuggling up to his human and receiving pets. He also has no problem showcasing his silly and sassy side to get your attention… and ideally more affection!
Since living with his foster family, RUDY has become more relaxed in temperament and yet excited to experience new things. For instance, RUDY loves a solid nap, but when he’s feeling well rested, he’s engaged and curious while out on walks, which he’s a fan of by the way. While out and about, RUDY is definitely in the moment and will happily stop to smell the roses (or anything, really)! Keep an eye out, though! RUDY does have a slight prey drive, which shows up as barking at squirrels and attempting to chase them.
At 12 years old, RUDY is impressive in how quickly he learns. He wants to please his people and does his best to do just that. Of course, crate training remains a work in progress as he’d much rather be in the company of his humans (really, he’d like you to be home more often than not). So too do his interactions with dogs, as he tends to be vocal. Redirection helps with this! Oh, and to help RUDY work on his socialization with dogs, he’s soon to go on some playdates.
RUDY is the kind of scruff that easily adapts to the schedule you create for him. If anything, he prefers both living environments and scenarios that are calmer and quieter. With that in mind, you can imagine that rambunctious young kiddos might be a bit much for him. A home with older kids (if any!) who can give him his space as well as commit to his training would, however, likely work for him.
So. Do you think you’d like to bring this sweetheart into your life? Apply!
RUDY will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Sunday, March 29th from 12pm - 3pm at Petsmart Etobicoke (158 N Queen St, Etobicoke, ON). Come meet him and see if he might be the right fit for you! Note: This event is only open to SOS adoptables. If you have your own scruff, we ask that you please leave them at home!
