LA,CA: Rudy 6 yr old Belgian malanois/Sheepdog- gentle giant - Owner wept as he left him there.

*From Linda:"He needs love!  He's large but gentle and he needs love!"  Those were the words that Rudy's owner wrote when he relinquished Rudy to the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter on July 19, 2011.  He was ill and could no longer care for his 6 yr. old Belgian Sheepdog.  How heartbreaking that must have been for him and for Rudy who now hopes that someone will see what a magnificent dog he is and want him for their own. VIDEO: http://doggiematchmaker.blogspot.com/2011/08/rudy-a1233080-large-but-more-to-love.html WHO IS HE? RUDY #A1233080 - Rudy is a big boy weighing in at 96 lbs.  He has a lush, silky coat and his recent visit to the groomer brought out the shine and luster in that coat.  He is a breathtakingly beautiful dog who is described as being friendly with people, dogs and cats.  He loves people and is happiest when he can be with his human friends.  He is exceedingly gentle and well behaved in the play yard.  He loves to be brushed but more than anything he just likes to hang out. Rudy waits patiently for the special someone who will look at him and know that he is the dog for them.  He needs a forever home.  Please help Rudy!
