Rupert is a sweet breeder release pup who is learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. When he first arrived, human touch was unfamiliar, but with patience, kindness, and time, he is slowly learning to trust.
Rupert is the kind of dog who shows his love in quiet ways. Once he knows and trusts you, he may not be the one to jump into your lap asking for attention, but if you invite him in, he will stay close and soak up the comfort of being near his people. Building that bond takes time and patience, but watching Rupert gain confidence and let his personality start to shine through is incredibly rewarding.
Rupert needs a home with a confident dog to help show him the ropes and provide reassurance as he continues learning. A securely fenced yard will also be important for helping him explore safely while building confidence.
His ideal family will be patient, understanding, and willing to meet him where he is. Rupert may need extra time to open up, but the trust he gives in return will be something truly special.
I am a puppy mill release and have likely been starved from human affection as a puppy. Therefore, I am going to require extra patience as I am not a typical puppy. I will need another friendly pet in the home to help me learn human trust and a secure fenced yard.
