Poodle and Maltese Dogs Available for Adoption in Pumpkin Center, California

Meet Rudy – Less Than 8 Pounds of Pure Love 🐾

Rudy is an absolutely irresistible little Parti Poodle (possibly mixed with Maltese), weighing in at under 8 pounds—and he’ll stay this perfectly petite size! At about a year old, he’s the sweetest combination of playful energy and loving companionship.

What makes Rudy truly special is not just how adorable he is—but who he is. Despite being rescued after being abandoned, Rudy has the most beautiful spirit. He is loving, trusting, and full of joy. He greets life with curiosity and excitement, always ready to play, cuddle, or follow you around as your tiny shadow.

He’s incredibly smart and eager to learn, and he’s already showing wonderful manners for such a young pup. Rudy is doing very well with potty training, is crate trained, and has a naturally easygoing nature. He’s the kind of dog who just fits into your life and fills it with happiness.

And don’t let his tiny size fool you—Rudy has a big bark and will happily let you know when someone new is around. He makes a great little alert companion while still being affectionate and sweet.

Rudy is currently in foster care with other dogs and cats and gets along wonderfully with everyone. He would thrive in a home with other pets or as your devoted little companion.
• Less than 8 lbs (full grown)
• About 1 year old
• Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped

This little boy is truly something special and won’t last long—but we are looking for the perfect forever home where he will be cherished.
