Age: Senior Gentleman (12 years young!)
Weight: A perfect 16 lbs of love

Meet Dudley, the sweetest little fluffball with a heart as big as his personality! 💕

This charming senior was surrendered when his family could no longer care for him, but don’t let that make you sad - because Dudley is ready to start his next chapter filled with cuddles, belly rubs, and endless love.

At about 12 years old, Dudley may be blind (he’s known to bump into things with adorable determination 🐕‍🦺), but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. His spirit is bright, his tail wags like a metronome of joy, and he absolutely adores meeting new people. Every pat, scratch, and “hello” makes him beam with happiness.

Dudley is proof that age is just a number - he’s playful, affectionate, and still has plenty of love to give. Imagine him curled up beside you on the couch, snoozing peacefully after a day of gentle adventures. 💤💖

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with unconditional love and remind you daily of life’s simple joys, Dudley is your guy. 🏡✨

👉 Open your heart and home to Dudley today—he’s ready to be your best friend forever!
