About Rudy

Rudy is a delightful small poodle, approximately 8-9 months old and weighing around 11 lbs. His fluffy white and cream coat is curly, but it was once matted due to neglect from a previous owner. Thankfully, Rudy got a much-needed grooming and was a champ during the process. This affectionate boy loves cuddles and snacks and thrives on attention. He gets along well with his foster siblings and is great with children, making him a wonderful family companion. However, he's not the best fit for homes with cats. To adopt Rudy, you’ll need a fenced yard and commitment to his routine grooming. An adoption fee of $300 applies, which includes neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations. A virtual home visit via Zoom is also required before meeting him in person in Athens, AL. Rudy truly deserves a happy home where he can flourish. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
