He is working hard on his boundary training (sit and wait at doors, in kennel until released). He’s also working on a sit and wait for his food too which he LOVES! Overall Rudolph is a very food motivated, willing dog and picks up on new skills quickly! He will do best in a quiet home where people and children are not visiting regularly. He just wants a quiet environment instead of going out and socializing. Jan 23, 2026: Rudolph continues to do well in his foster home.

Rudolph loves to fetch: https://youtube.com/shorts/97tDD8XEqcs Dec 12, 2025: Rudolph is a super sweet senior dog, happy is an understatement for this guy! He loves a good butt scratch and a sniff around the yard. He is a strong guy, so a fenced yard over leashed walks is recommended. He is good with cats, not reactive on leash or behind fence towards dogs, but would prefer to be the only dog, so he is the center of your attention. He does not want the shenanigans of other dogs. Rudolph is kennel trained and is clean and quiet in the kennel. He loves a good puzzle toy and will carry stuffed toys around the house like a prize! He has not displayed any resource guarding, and so far he has pretty good house manners too! Rudolph knows sit, down, come, leave it, and wait! Rudolph is approved for kids 10 and up.
