Rudy was found behind a dumpster. He was covered in fleas and had skin issues from the fleas. He was diagnosed with hookworms and is being quarantined from our other puppy until the vet clears him. He was extremely malnourished and had a swollen belly from lack of food and the worms. After nearly a week on meds, his belly has gone down, his fur is getting better, and he is starting to look like a healthy pup again. Rudy is a little scared of new people, but after a little babytalking, he will follow you around everywhere. He loves cuddling and is very excited to talk to our other puppy through the door. He is currently being trained using puppy pads until it is safe for him to go in the yard. So far, he is doing very well with the puppy pads. We have high hopes for this little guy that someone will see those adorable eyes and fall in love as we have. The vest estimated his age at around 10 weeks old.

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
