Rudy Gobert is an absolute sweetheart with a goofy personality, always ready to make you laugh with her playful antics. She adores people, offering plenty of kisses and even hugs, though she's learning to manage her enthusiasm around smaller individuals. Rudy is highly intelligent, picking up commands quickly like 'sit', 'down', 'touch', 'shake', and 'up', especially when treats and pets are involved. She's also proven to be calm and well-behaved around other dogs, enjoying playtime with her foster siblings and remaining unfazed by barking or new canine friends at public events.
As a German Shepherd Dog and Great Dane mix, Rudy embodies a wonderful blend of loyalty, intelligence, and a gentle giant demeanor. German Shepherds are known for their trainability and protective instincts, while Great Danes are famous for their friendly, patient nature. Rudy will thrive with consistent training and socialization, leveraging her sharp mind and desire to please. Her short coat requires moderate grooming, with weekly brushing to manage shedding. Expect a moderate to high energy level, typical of her breeds, meaning she'll need regular physical and mental stimulation.
Rudy is searching for a loving forever home that can provide her with continued training and plenty of affection. She's great with other dogs and has shown excellent manners in a quiet household, but her size and strength mean she's best suited for a home with older children or adults who can handle her playful energy. A family committed to helping her overcome her initial car anxiety and build confidence in new environments will find a devoted companion in Rudy. She's housetrained, sleeps through the night, and is eager to be your MVP (Most Valuable Pet)!
