Mr. Rudy is a perfect size. He is a "pocket pittie" with a smile that will melt your heart and that puppy look of innocence in his beautiful brown eyes! Rudy is muscular and strong, but also very lean. He is a sandy brown with white on his feet, chest, and tail, and he has floppy ears.

Mr. Rudy is a sweet, sweet boy who always wags his tail and wiggles for pets. He is just out of the puppy stage, so has some youthful energy. Rudy is responsive to training on the leash and has a soft touch when taking treats. He exhibits some shyness around tall men and can be startled by sudden movement, but displays friendly body language (lots of tail wags!) around other dogs and people in general. He has never interacted with cats or young children. Rudy's past is unknown but he's full of pleasant surprises: he knows how to sit, lie down, and roll over on command!
