About Rudolph

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Rudolph is a stunning and independent boy who has been patiently waiting in boarding for his perfect foster or forever home. While he doesn’t get along with cats, he is quite social with other dogs and loves being around people—on his own terms. In new environments or on walks, you’ll notice Rudolph is focused and seems on a mission, but give him the chance to relax and his playful, fun-loving side bursts through. He adores playtime in the yard and lives for car rides, where his goofy nature shines. Rudolph has a unique way of accepting affection, similar to a cat—he likes to be in charge of when and how he’s cuddled, making him a one-of-a-kind companion! This smart boy already knows cues like “look at me,” “sit,” “lay down,” “shake,” and “stay.” He can be a bit stubborn, so a confident and experienced leader is just what he needs. Due to his tendency to get a bit nippy when excited, an adult-only home is recommended. Rudolph does have a tracheal issue requiring lifelong medication, and it’s important he's always walked using a harness to protect his neck. If you’re an experienced dog owner who values character and charm, Rudolph is ready to entertain you, make you laugh, and be your loyal car ride buddy. Fun fact: Since Rudolph was born on February 7, he’s an Aquarius—a sign known for their intelligence and quirky personalities! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
