My story

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

For inquiries email Margaret@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $500 Location: Suffolk, VA Meet Jude: A Special Pup Looking for the Perfect Owner Jude comes to us from the shelter in Manassas, VA. While his exact age is unknown, he is an adult estimated to be around 8 years old, give or take a year. Jude is a small mixed breed, likely a spaniel mix with characteristics similar to a shih tzu or another short-legged, long-torso pup. Determining his precise breed is a challenge, and your guess is as good as ours! Jude has already visited the vet for his vaccines and has been neutered. He has a heart murmur and he has seen a cardiologist before surgery. He does requires a daily heart pill to manage a heart murmur, but this condition does not slow him down or dampen his spirit. Jude is settling well into his foster home. He sleeps soundly through the night, has a healthy appetite, and demonstrates good potty manners. He does have a stubborn streak and does not appreciate being forced to do things. He likes what he likes! Jude is not a cuddle bug or a couch potato. Instead, he prefers to relax by lying at his foster mom's feet while she sits on the sofa. He does shed, and the hot weather increases this, so regular brushing and coat maintenance will be necessary. Jude would thrive best in a calm home withoutchildren, as sudden movements near his head can be frightening for him. He would be content as an only pet or with a companion. Jude is considered a reactive dog and is currently working with a trainer. He is making progress, but his adopter should be committed to continuing his training. Jude is a very sweet boy who prefers the company of ladies over gentlemen. He enjoys carrying his ball on walks and appreciates a good brushing session. Jude is a wonderful pup who needs an understanding and patient owner. If you feel you can provide Jude with the loving home he deserves, please consider applying today.   Please follow us on social media for the most up to date photos and information.

Adoption is not first come first served. We match our dogs to potential owners to ensure the best outcomes for all involved! Our philosophy is: Rescue - Rehabilitate - Rejoice!

Our mission statement is as follows:
Compact Canine Rescue is a network of volunteers committed to rehabilitating small dogs and rehoming them with forever families on the east coast of the United States. We are passionate about promoting responsible pet parenting and educating the public on what makes dogs healthy and happy.
