This jovial fellow is Rudy. Rudy is a 1-year-old, male, Pug/ Beagle mix. He’s a very nice young gentleman looking for a place to call his own. Rudy arrived at Berkshire Humane Society with his brother Marlow when their previous owner could no longer care for them. Yes, he’s cute as a button but also a very high energy boy. He would love nothing more than to be outside hiking, running, or walking with someone. Rudy is fully house trained; could potentially live with another dog, dog-savvy cat, and children 10+.
