My story

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

Meet Rudy! The Reindeer Pup!

Rudy is a 7-month-old Border Collie, Aussie, and Great Pyrenees mix with long legs, a soft coat, and a whole lot of puppy enthusiasm. Named after Rudolph, this big holiday baby is still learning how to steer all his excitement in the right direction, and he's practicing every day! He's playful, curious, and full of joyful chaos, and he's starting to figure out how to be the good boy he was destinated to be!

Rudy is very much a growing puppy who's learning his manners, from keeping "four on the floor" to navigating doorways, new dogs, and new situations without letting his feelings take over. Sometimes the world is a little overwhelming, sometimes it's way too exciting, and sometimes he forgets how big he is. With patience, structure, and positive, Animal Kind training, he's making great progress. Toys are becoming his favorite thing, treats are highly motivating, and praise makes his tail go wild.

This is Rudy's first Christmas, and like his reindeer namesake, he's hoping for a second chance to learn, grow, and shine. He's looking for a committed, loving human who's ready for a big puppy with big feelings, big energy, and an even bigger heart. If you're searching for a goofy, sensitive, wonderful pup to guide, train, and celebrate every win with, Rudy might just be the Christmas adventure you've been waiting for.
