Rupert spent his early life in a puppy mill and hasn't had the chance to experience much kindness from humans. He's still learning that people can be good and will need an adopter willing to put in real patience. Rupert isn't like your average puppy—he responds better to gentle routines and may need time to trust. A secure, fenced yard is a must since he'll feel safer exploring at his own pace. Rupert gets along with both cats and dogs, so he could fit into a multi-pet household if introduced properly. Rupert's journey won't be fast, but with the right care, he'll start to flourish.
