22-080 Ziwa/Rudy  is a 10-month-old neutered male blond Goldendoodle. His coat is more Golden and does shed some. He was adopted from  Pima Animal Care & Control  ( PACC ) – the man wanted a Doodle because he is allergic to other dogs. However, he broke out in hives right away so could not keep  Ziwa . The dog was reportedly good with other dogs and cats but had not been around children. He loves  to cuddle, can be stubborn, but is even-tempered. The name  Ziwa  is Aramaic, typically translated as radiance or splendor; it can also mean to be competent. (We hope this means the dog will be easily trained!) As is typical of puppies we have taken in,  Ziwa  needed some vaccines, a heartworm test and a valley fever test – the tests came back negative. As he was neutered at  PACC , he did not need any further vetting. He was fostered for a couple days by a foster couple and had a wonderful time with their resident Golden  Lexi . Then he was transported to his forever home with an adopter in Gilbert and her resident Golden,  Roenick . When she was sure she was going to keep the puppy, she renamed him  Rudy .  The adopter said:  

Rudy plays 24/7 and  has lots of energy. He is amazing on a leash  (she bought one of the Sidekick leashes  AGR  sells)   and loves to go for walks. His other love is  Roenick , who needed a buddy and  Rudy  is his best buddy.  Rudy  loves his toys and to lie on pillows. He loves to stand on his back legs at the kitchen counter while I am cooking – my mom says we need to get him an apron!  Rudy  loves life and has been a wonderful addition to the family.
