Meet Strudel the Doodle!

With a name as sweet as he is, Strudel is stealing hearts during this week’s Wednesday Friendsday!

Our friends at Rescue ATX Dogs are helping this adorable doodle find a loving family to call his own.

“Strudel is about a year and a half years old, and he entered our care at the start of the summer this year, when he was found roaming the streets in East Austin.” Patel said.

“A volunteer in the community said that a dog was just laying in the middle of the road in their neighborhood. He would not move, even when cars were passing. He was covered in fleas. He was pretty matted. And he was just so scared.”

Now approximately 18 months old and weighing 23 pounds, Strudel is learning to trust again and showing off his playful personality.

While he may be shy when meeting new people, Patel says he typically warms up within a day.

His foster home includes two canine siblings who have helped him build confidence and learn the ropes.

“He actually needs a dog sibling because, you wouldn’t believe it right now, but since he’s such a young guy, he’s really playful and has a lot of energy,” Patel explained.

An adoptive home with another friendly, playful dog would be an especially good fit for Strudel.

“Fosters make our work possible.” Patel urged.
