Meet Jude, the gentle soul on a beautiful journey toward joy! 🌟 This 8-month-old, 17-lb Dachshund/Border Terrier mix is just waiting for someone to see the sparkle in his soulful eyes. Not too long ago, Jude found himself in a scary rural shelter in Southeast Louisiana—loud, cold, and oh-so-confusing for a little pup like him. But when the darkness loomed, a kind rescue stepped in to change his life forever! Jude may be a bit shy right now, the quiet type who needs a moment to trust. But fear not! Once he warms up to you, there's no stopping this loving boy. He'll follow you anywhere, full of curious spirit and a heart ready for love! 💖 This cuddle bug has a soft spot for belly rubs and safe spaces. With a mama who weighs about 30 lbs, he’s sure to grow into the perfect medium-sized adventure buddy—small enough for snuggles, yet big enough to keep up with all your shenanigans! Already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, Jude is ready to begin his new chapter filled with kindness, patience, and unconditional love. If you’ve been searching for a loyal companion with quiet courage and an endless capacity for love, look no further, because Jude is your boy! Remember, this little heart deserves the best, so if you're feeling that spark, don’t hesitate! You can’t just adopt; you must **apply through the Buddy App** to meet this sweet soul. Feel the love and let your heart guide you! *Jude is waiting for you!*
