Hoover:

My husband and I adopted Hoover from Rudy’s about a year and a half ago. Young Hoover arrived one sunny summer afternoon for what we thought would be a quick visitation to see how he got on with our other pets. Well, Hoover never ended up leaving that day. He was readily accepted by our 8-year old lab, who proceeded to tucker him out that first day. Hoover effortlessly worked his way into our hearts. He is a joy to have around; always eager to see who is coming to visit, or all about knowing when his next trip down back to the pond is. We think he’s part cheetah, but we’re not sure. It is not usually our style to let the dogs on the furniture – all that went out the window when Hoover arrived . He learned his basic obedience commands quickly, and now walks like such a gentleman on the leash. And yes, he does manage to make it to his own personal bed when asked. He is a joy to bring to his vet visits (my first dog ever to actually lay down and SLEEP on the floor of the waiting room…) He is, and always has been, completely housebroken (knock on wood – all dog owners know even the best ones have accidents!). I could easily go on and on about how much we love this dog but I’ll close with this thought. He is not perfect, but he’s as close as I’ll ever get in this not-so-perfect world. Thanks, Rudy’s Rescue, for all you do. We are looking forward to finding a little sister dog soon!!
