Trudy is a 10-month-old female lab mix. Trudy came to us at 10-days-old, along with seven other siblings who all needed to be bottle fed. All the other puppies were adopted when they were old enough. Trudy's foster mom became attached to Trudy and decided to keep her. Eight months later, Trudy became to much for her to handle as the lady was older, had brittle bones and thought the dog might make her fall down. Trudy has come out of her shell with all the volunteers handling her and likes everyone. Her foster mom said she is good with cats, dogs and was potty trained. She would bark if someone knocked on the door or came in the yard. Trudy might be a little shy when you meet, but will open up once she knows she can trust you. For more information about Trudy, contact Abandoned Animal Rescue at 281-290-0121, or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
