Rudy is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained.  Rudy is a smart little boy and knows the commands, sit and lay down!  Rudy is described as shy and is good with both men and women, but seems to prefer women.  Rudy is a real cuddlebug!  "He loves my grandpa, he will sit in his lap and let him pet him forever."

Rudy is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never bitten or snapped.  He doesn't live with other pets now, but his owner writes, "Rudy used to live with other animals and they said he had no  problem with them.  My parents have a weiner dog, who is jealous of Rudy..... He really doesnt bother anybody.....so as long as dog doesnt pick on him. I think he will be fine."

Rudy's owners tell us he's about 99% blind, but "he gets around okay."  

Rudy is a laid back little fellow and enjoys taking things slowly. "Rudy lives life at a slow pace.... If you take him outside 2 times a day.....he is pretty good....Rudy just needs someone to baby him more than average dog.....he just deserves more attention than he gets here."  Rudy's owners tell us he'll make someone a wonderful dog!
