Hello there!  I’m looking for a home for my eight-year-old lab mix dog Rudy. He is a great dog that loves the outdoors and hiking. My family and I are currently living in Romania and are unable to bring him here. The family is currently living with can only keep them until end of January.

Rudy is a lover of a dog that needs exercise (he's a lab after all and loves hikes, runs at a dog park and doggy day care) and a loving family.  He loves cuddling and playing and is as loyal as they come.  He does great with kids older than 8 years but younger ones he can get nervous around and has shown his teeth on a couple of occassions.  We have two little kids and I've managed it fine but wouldn't recommend he go into a home with small children.  He does great with some other pets and not so great with others- it really depends on how he's introduced to the pet and the conditions of the home.  Ideally he'd be the only dog in the home.   He is currently staying with my brother who has a small daschund and they get along great but its pretty hit or miss with him.  He has a little bit of leash aggression if not on a harness.  He has never bitten anyone he just gets territorial.  I think wth some training and more exercise this would greatly improve.  We just sadly haven't been able to give him that with the two little ones and now being oversees.

Any help here would be appreciated.  He is an amazing dog that deserves a better environment than we can provide over here in Romania.  He has to be out of his current placement by the end of January.  Obviously this is a hard decision to make but I do think its in his best interest.

Please email me if there are is any possibility for you to help. Thank you so much and happy new year!
