Rudy

My story

Meet Rudy, your new best friend with a tail-wagging heart! He originally came to us back in 2020 and was quickly adopted, but a few years later his owner passed away and he found himself back at the shelter in 2024. Again, he was quickly adopted but unfortunately, he is back here after his most recent home could no longer care for him. At 6.5 years old, Rudy is so full of love! Rudy is the kind of dog who makes you believe in second (or third!) chances. With his soft, affectionate gaze and easygoing nature, he’s a gentle soul just waiting for his true forever home. This lovable terrier mix is a joy to be around. Rudy is playful without being over-the-top, especially when toys are involved (he’s still narrowing down his favorite, but he’s loving the search!). He’s also friendly and open with new people, warming up quickly and showing his affectionate side. He knows how to “sit” like a pro, walks decently on leash (though he can pull when excited), and would do best in a home with kids 12 and up due to his strength. Rudy is a heart-stealer, the perfect blend of sweet and spunky. If you`re looking for a loyal companion who’s always ready to love and play, Rudy’s your guy.If you are interested in learning more contact our placement team at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter:E: Adoption@hempsteadny.govE: Foster@hempsteadny.govE: Rescue@hempsteadny.govT. 516.785.5220#Adoptme #adoptionistheoption #takemehome #adoption #rescue #rescueismyfavoritebreed #opttoadopt #longislanddogs #longislanddogparents #adotions #dog #doggo #dogsofnewyork #newyorkcitydogs #NYCdogs #terriersrock #rescuedog #nyadoptable #longislandanimalshelter #animalshelter #shelterdogs #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #rescuedogsarethebest
