About Rudolph

Meet Rudolph, a 3-year-old mixed breed weighing 55 pounds. While he's still getting to know people, one thing is already clear—Rudolph adores human companionship! Cuddle with him or give him a good ear scratch, and he’ll lean in, asking for more. Rudolph is a bit strong on the leash, but with some time and practice, he can refine his walking manners. He’s looking to gain a few pounds and would thrive in a home committed to helping him achieve a healthy weight. This sweet, affectionate boy thinks ear scratches are the best. Plus, Rudolph is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment; the rescue will continue to provide his care either through their vet or with medications for the adopter’s vet. His adoption fee is $300, which includes a $15 fee for rabies registration if you live in McLean County. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. Rudolph is waiting to meet his new family. What are you waiting for?
