My name is 25-111 Rudy!

Meet Rudy

Professional cuddle enthusiast. Amateur cattle dog herder. Full-time heart throb! 

Rudy was found all on his own in a rural area outside Kaufman, not far from where many of our rescue stories begin. He’s about 6 months old, 32 pounds, and is made up of equal parts love, joy, zoomies, and side-eye.

Loves other dogs 

Loves cuddling

Loves hanging out and being included

Thinks small children might need herding

Believes cats are… suspicious

Because Rudy is an energetic, enthusiastic cattle dog, he’d do best in a home without young kids or cats, but with humans who appreciate a smart, playful pup who keeps life interesting!

Qualifications for Adoption:  No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences. DSDA is very careful to place our dogs in homes that we believe are the best fit for the dog based on our experience with each dog. All of our dogs live in foster homes which allows us the opportunity to learn about their individual needs.
