Name: Rudy

About: Rudy is a handsome 1-and 7 month-old Carolina Dog mix with a whole lot of love to give. This smart, people-oriented boy is eager to please and picks up on new things quickly. He's looking for a dedicated owner who is ready to invest time and effort into training and help him become the best dog he can be.
Rudy is a joy to be around, with a playful and gentle spirit. In dog playgroups, he's a superstar—he loves to engage with other dogs, respects their corrections, and gets along well with everyone. He takes treats delicately from your hand, knows his name, and is a delight to work with. He also loves car rides and is a great companion for walks and hikes.
Rudy's past has been challenging, but he's a resilient and sweet boy who deserves a fresh start. He is looking for an experienced owner who can provide him with the guidance he needs to overcome some behavioral issues, including a history of resource guarding and signs of separation anxiety. He has had a few incidents involving nipping and a more moderate bite with his previous owner, primarily around toys and when being petted. Because of this, he needs an owner who can be mindful of his body language, read his signals, and work with him patiently. He may also need caution with small dogs and a very secure kennel, as he has shown an ability to open them.
Rudy is a sweet puppy who hasn't had a fair chance in life. He has so much potential and is ready to shower his new family with love. Give this good boy a chance to show you what a loyal and loving companion he can be.
Available for adoption ONLY through PACC.
