He Was Shot. Today, Rufus Just Wants Hugs

How does a dog behave after being shot and abused? Rufus walks up to people, settles down beside them and asks for a hug. After everything he’s suffered, he still trusts.

You can see it in today’s video. A dog who has undergone surgery and still needs help to recover, yet finds every opportunity to ask for affection. Being with someone, feeling a hand gently stroking him, staying close. That’s what Rufus wants.

Surgery repaired his fracture. Now he needs to continue with physiotherapy, mobility exercises and daily care as he gradually regains his mobility. This process takes time and consistent support. We’re there for him every day.

We’re also looking for a family for him. Someone who understands that his recovery is ongoing and is willing to support him patiently. Rufus has so much love to give. We want him to be able to share it in a home where he feels loved and can finally have a stable life.

If you think Rufus could be part of your family, fill in his adoption application below. We’d love to get to know you.

While he waits for that home, Rufus needs to continue his physiotherapy. And for that, we need your help.

Your donations made his surgery possible. Now we’re asking you to help us continue the treatment and care he needs to recover.

Please donate to help Rufus continue his physiotherapy. We’ve come this far together. Let’s help him take the next step.
