Rupert

My story

Terrier / Dachshund Mix Age: 1.5 yrs Male, neutered 22 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Rupert came to us from the Sacramento County with an injured rear leg (probably from being hit by a car). X-rays indicated that his left rear ankle had been shattered. There were 2 options: amputation of the leg or an expensive arthrodesis surgery. We were fortunate to find a vet that was willing to offer us a discount on the repair surgery so that we could save his leg. Rupert is doing well, occasionally favoring the injured leg, but using it most of the time. He isn’t in pain, but will most assuredly develop arthritis that may need some pain control in the future. He is little skittish at times, but once he is comfortable, he is mostly a very outgoing, friendly, playful, affectionate young dog. He would do well in a home with another young playful dog. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Rupert, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
