Rudy the half bloodbound / half boxer mix was an escape artist whose owner had been trying to get rid of him basically since he was born. When she finally dumped him at the shelter at eighteen months, DAWG swooped in and saved him. We drove 2.5 hours out to meet him a day

Rudy the half bloodbound / half boxer mix was an escape artist whose owner had been trying to get rid of him basically since he was born. When she finally dumped him at the shelter at eighteen months, DAWG swooped in and saved him. We drove 2.5 hours out to meet him a day or two after they’d had him altered, and they gave us the opportunity to walk him around other dogs in a nice wooded area behind their building. It was a total match for us! DAWG were so easy to work with and I really liked the overall vibe of their organization. Thank you DAWG for helping Rudy find a home he doesn’t want to run away from
