My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Rupert – The Polka-Dot Snack Detective
Rupert is a calm, gentle soul with one very important life mission: finding snacks you didn’t even know were there. Drop a treat and Rupert instantly goes into detective mode, nose glued to the ground like a professional crumb investigator on a top-secret case.

He can be a little shy at first, but once he decides you’re part of his trusted circle, he turns into a total sweetheart who gives kisses and leans in for affection. He’s easy to walk and enjoys short bursts of medium energy before happily settling back into relaxation mode like the spotted couch potato he truly is.

Rupert was surrendered, and his previous owners reported that he loved car rides and was friendly with adults, children, and other dogs. As always, a meet and greet is recommended to make sure he’s the perfect match for your family.

Rupert knows how to sit, takes treats gently, and is extremely treat-motivated, which makes him a fun little guy to work with. He’ll thrive in a home with a secure yard where he can safely conduct his daily sniff patrols.

If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet companion who believes every walk is a treasure hunt, Rupert is ready to sniff his way straight into your heart.
