Story
Rudy (a.k.a. "Little Man") is a healthy 2-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix. He is neutered, housetrained, and has been vetted. He is full of personality! He is sweet, extremely cuddly, doesn’t like to be alone, and loves toys! He does know commands such as sit, off, laydown, stop, and heel. He is crate trained but prefers to be out with you and sleep with you. Rudy was abandoned by his previous owners, so he does have some abandonment/ anxiety issues when left alone (his foster parents said this has improved the longer he has been living with them). He is mischievous (as all puppies can be at two), but not house or shoe destructive; however, don't turn your back to your food for too long!
Rudy could benefit from some behavioral training, specifically, how to greet visitors when entering the house and leash aggression issues with both bicycles and other dogs walking with their owners. Outside of those two items, he walks well on a leash. He is food-motivated and smart, so he will train quickly with consistency and the right approach. He is best suited for experienced dog owners or someone who will invest their time in retraining him. There is something truly special about him, and I would love to see him find his new forever home that will treat him like the prince he knows he is!
