Here’s what some kind humans wrote about me
Name: Ruth (Rut)
Gender: Female
Age: approx. 3 Years old
DOB approx. 10/2023
Estimated size: Small
History of how the dog or pup was rescued: Ruth was rescued after she had been hit by a car and her owner said to euthanise her. She is only 3 years old! After emergency surgery on her spine, sadly it was not successful and Ruth remains paralysed.
Temperament (shy/timid/playful/active/lazy): Ruth is incredible with cats dogs and all people, she really is the best. Ruth cannot use her back legs at all, and she is not aware all the time when she needs to go to the toilet.
We are only looking for a home who has experience in paralysed dogs.
Update October 2026 : Ruth has had decompression and stabilization, which are surgical procedures performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and mechanically secure the spinal column. She would enjoy hydrotherapy, although we believe she will not walk again. Ruth does not take any medications or have need for any.
Ruth has feeling and knows when she needs the toilet – she can move around to go to the toilet but she will need to be washed and bandaged on her feet so she doesn’t get hurt if this is outside. If she stays indoors with pampers, there is no need for bandages. Either whoever adopts her will keep her indoors on the carpet with pampers or let her go outside with a bandage or a stroller.
She stays alone inside for several hours without any accident problems in her current foster home in Romania.
