About this Dog
Update on Scooby (now Rudy) from Abingdon! From his amazing foster mom: It's hard to imagine a sweeter, more fun loving little guy than Rudy! He has spent two months in foster and is doing fantastic! When he arrived he seemed pretty bewildered by anything that had to do with living in a house, but has quickly taken to being part of a home and wants nothing more than to be involved with everything his people are doing. Need help cooking? He'd love nothing more than to be your sous chef. Want to go on a car adventure? He's the first to call shotgun. Want to go hiking or go exploring somewhere new? He's ready and able to help point out the best birds and squirrels. Need a cuddle buddy? He is a professional little spoon who believes firmly that the best sleep happens under a comfy blanket. Rudy was picked up as a stray with another dog, where they were likely dumped. He is a brindle mix of some kind and is approximately 7-8 months old and weighs 16 pounds and other than maybe filling out with another 2-3 pounds, is fully grown. He has done a good job of putting on weight since being in foster and is very food motivated. He is not food aggressive at all, but does have a hard time not sneaking any food that is left around, including from his foster dog sisters, so he does best when eating by himself so he's not tempted to grab some extra. He is doing really well with learning how to take turns when getting treats. He is great with kids and loves to be part of any playtime that is going on. He is also super excited to make friends with any dog he meets. He would do best in a home with a person/family that can give him a walk or playtime everyday. He would also do well with another active dog to play with since he loves to wrestle and run around. I imagine that he would be thrilled to take part in something like agility classes or hiking in the future. Coming from no experience, he has done great with potty training, but does need someone to provide some loving support to help him as he continues to learn. He can be somewhat hesitant around men when first meeting them and has perhaps had some bad experiences in the past, but with gentleness and care he quickly comes out of his shell and will love you with his whole wiggly being.

Adopt Rudy and Receive Rudy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rudy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Rudy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Rudy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rudy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rudy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rudy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Rudy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rudy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
