Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rudy! Rudy is a 55 pound Red and Cream Aussie who is around a year/ year and half old. Rudy was pulled from the Iowa eviction/puppy mill situation at the end of September. Rudy has been settling in to rescue and his foster home well.
Rudy is dog and people friendly, although timid at first. He would love a dog playmate that he can wrestle with. He has a strong toy drive and will steal toys from his foster brother, so a dog companion that is ok with that would be ideal. Rudy is a big toy chewer and destroyer.
Rudy loves to cuddle and is very sweet. He does well with the kids and neighbors on the other side of the fence when they come up to greet him. He has impressive recall and is definitely a velcro dog. Rudy is doing well on leash for walks.
Rudy eats his meals in his crate, but his foster has not witnessed any resource guarding.
Rudy is house trained and crate trained. He is working on not jumping upon greeting, adjusting to the home environment and inside rules, including not chewing on pillows and blankets. He is a typical young dog!
The details:
Fence: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Cats: No Exposure
Children: Good through fence, no additional exposure
All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $300 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.
