Vet/Medical Info: Rudy is 27 lbs. The info owner gave is correct including the slight heart murmur. She has an apt for 2/3 for booster shots but as yet has not scheduled the HW treatment. He is not neutered.

Owner Info: Rudy's current owner adopted him out of a local kill shelter on 1/13/2012 to save his life, hoping to find him a good home. Rudy is an indoor dog with the run of the house, he is not housebroken but is leash trained. He was an outside dog before his owner surrendered him to the shelter, they are working on his training. Rudy can be a little nervous, he is good with adults and other dogs. He does growl a little bit if another dog gets near him when he is eating, but he hasn't shown aggression. He was very nervous the first 24 hrs they had him, but settled down quickly. He is not timid about exploring his surroundings. Rudy is completely blind, cause unknown but it is not due to cataracts. He has a mild heart murmur (I-II) possibly due to anemia from flea infestation and has slightly limited range of motion in right hip. He will be starting treatment for HW in the next few days, they are paying for it. They also plan to have Rudy neutered but the neutering/dental had to be delayed because of the HW treatment. He deserves the best.
