Additional info:

Rui is a sweet Papillon Mix who will stay loyal and loving once he opens up his heart. He is very fearful of strangers at first and may need around a week or two to settle into a quiet and relaxed environment so he can become comfortable enough for pets. Once he trusts you, he is the sweetest lovebug who loves nothing other than following you around the house, asking for pets, and going on short walks! He loves short walks outside and is so patient when giving baths.

He used to have seizures after stressful events (loud/busy environments/overstimulation), but they have significantly reduced, and he hasn't had one in a few months! To be proactive, he gets a couple drops of CBD oil before any stressful situation.

He has sensitive skin, and so he is on a fish-only diet with kibble (no chicken). His teeth require care, so brushing is important. He is dog-friendly and a curious boy once he comes out of his shell. He doesn't like to be held until he fully trusts you and is wary of elevators/hardwood floors. Once he opens up, he is the sweetest boy who will be a perfect companion that will love you until the end of time. He's also adorably silly and loves cuddles and being pet so much, he will give you his paw to show he wants more cuddles. He's fiercely loyal and loves going on walks. He needs a little time to settle in and then he will be your best friend!
