Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Clearwater, Florida

Rudy is a 7-month-old shepherd mix with the sweetest soul and the most expressive ears you’ve ever seen! At just 30 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion with plenty of love to give.
Rudy is curious about the world but approaches new things with a gentle, cautious nature. Once he feels safe, his affectionate personality shines through. He absolutely loves people and enjoys being near his humans, whether that’s lounging on the couch or sneaking into your bed for cuddles at night. While he sleeps quietly through the night in his kennel, he’d definitely vote for snuggle privileges if given the choice!
He’s currently learning leash walking and making great progress. Rudy also rides wonderfully in the car, making him an excellent companion for adventures or errands.
Rudy gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine friend to help build his confidence. Because he has a timid personality, very young or energetic small children can feel a little overwhelming for him, so he’d do best in a calmer home where he can continue to blossom at his own pace.
Rudy is healing from a previous fracture in his front leg/elbow giving him a slight limp. This will heal well in time.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle pup with a loving heart and tons of potential, Rudy may be the perfect addition to your family. 🐶💕
Rudy is being fostered in the Brandon/Valrico
