Rupert is a shy yet friendly lad who will never hog the mic at a wedding reception, but does love to shake things up with the occasional R-rated joke. In addition to working blue, he also loves treats, short walks, and being handsome. Rupert would love to join a home as mellow as he is, preferably kid-free or with older kids who can handle his spicy language without asking awkward questions.
Here are some notes from his foster:
Rupert has been awesome. He is initially tentative (it took us a bit to build up the trust for him to let me pick him up into the car) but after a couple days and lots of treats, now he just wants to be wherever I am!
Rupert’s favorite things are: treats (meat flavored!), naps, and cuddling. He is not an athlete lol. He sometimes (not too often though) likes to protest about going on walks by going into his crate when the leash goes on, but he enjoys himself while we’re out and likes to sniff up to every stranger and dog. He’s not socially timid at all in small groups!
Rupert, so far, doesn’t have any separation issues. I’m gone once or twice a day for an hour or two and I typically come home to Rupert napping. He’s stoked to see me when I get home though. These are the times that you can see that he’s trying to wag his little worm tail but it doesn’t really work properly haha. I think there are some nerve issues with his hips and back legs.
Rupert will appreciate a small, quiet place to sleep, and soft places in each room because he loves to just look at you and fall asleep. It’s super cute!! Other times he wants some “me time” and will go grab a chewable treat and work on it in another room. Either way, 100% of the time with Rupert is super chill, except when his eyes get super big when you pull out a treat – he’s hilarious
Rupert’s personality is everything anybody could want in a senior pup. When he’s not scouring the house for a treat, he’ll be curled up at your feet hoping for some belly rubs.
As for looks, it’s all a matter of perspective with Rupert. From above, he is all beagle. Straight on, he’s unmistakably a Chihuahua. Either way he’s a handsome lad!
Can’t find Rupert? Don’t panic! His favorite pastime is finding some blankets or towels to snooze under. So much for that nice crate you bought!
