Hound * Spayed/Neutered * Male * 8 Years Old

Profile:

*Rudy is a 💛Golden Years Adoption💛. With a Golden Years Adoption, our goal is to find Rudy a loving home that can continue to provide him with the care and attention he needs in his golden years! He is currently stable and comfortable, but due to his ongoing medical needs, including treatment for allergies, GI issues, ear infections, and seizures, he is being made available with $0 adoption fee. Rudy is on a daily medication regimen and will require ongoing veterinary care, but he is an affectionate and very active dog who loves attention and has a great quality of life!*
