Are you looking for the perfect companion?

Rudy is a friendly, well-behaved rescue dog, found as a stray in poor condition.

He is about 3-4 years old and tested positive for leishmaniasis; after treatment and daily allopurinol, his health has improved significantly. Rudy is currently at a shelter, not house trained, and will be ready to travel in January.

Rudy is positive to leishmaniasis, this is a condition which is caused by the bite of a Sandfly, It affects animals and humans alike and cannot be passed on without being bitten by an infected fly. As a charity we provide full support throughout the life of any of our dogs and are no further than an email or telephone call away!
