About Fudge

Fudge is searching for a patient home that can offer her the space she needs, especially when those zoomies hit! With her background of mistreatment, she takes time to warm up and has some trust issues, so a slow introduction is essential for her. She prefers to maintain her personal space and doesn't like being crowded, particularly around her face. This spunky girl has recently discovered toys and is loving her stuffed animals and soccer balls. Fudge is a smart pup; she knows how to head to her kennel when requested, even without treats. Despite her past, she enjoys cuddling on the couch and has a delightful, soft coat. Although she thrives best in an adult-only home or one without small children, she enjoys the company of other large, energetic dogs, which helps her manage her anxiety more effectively. Fudge has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on all her vaccinations and preventatives. If you think this fun little girl could be your new companion, please submit an adoption application, and we will reach out to you. An in-home visit will be needed to see if she fits well with your family. Fudge came to us in March 2023 after being quarantined due to a bite incident, but it was not her fault at all. We couldn't let her face a life-ending situation at the shelter, hence her rescue. A bite release form will need to be signed upon adoption. Feel free to request any reports about her original case via email at any time. Fudge is currently around 14 pounds and is ready to find the perfect home with patience and love.
