Pet Details
Hi! I'm Rupert!
Rupert is a 1-year-old bundle of energy with a heart of gold! While he may be a bit of a "meathead" right now, full of enthusiasm and muscle, he's as sweet and loving as they come. He's also clever, eager to learn, and food motivated, which makes him an excellent training partner. He has mastered "sit" and loves to show off his training progress. He loves walks and would be a fantastic hiking buddy. Any New Years resoltions about getting more outdoor excercise? Rupert is primed and ready to be your accountability buddy. Rupert absolutely loves being around people and is always ready to shower you with affection!
Rupert has struggled with all his pent up energy in a kennel environment (the shelter is just so BORING). However, he spent a week in a loving foster home as a kennel break and did FABULOUSLY! His foster family let us know that he was a delightful houseguest and they very much enjoyed his goofy company. They let us know that Rupert does actually have a positive association to his crate and uses it as a safe haven when he is getting overwhelmed or tired. He is also entertained with puzzles, which can help wear him out on bad weather days. With some consistent training and patience, and outlets for his youthful energy, Rupert will be the well-mannered, loyal companion you've been searching for.
To meet Rupert, please visit our Brunswick Campus at 5 Industrial Parkway. We're open every day, except Wednesday, from 11AM-3PM.
