Dudley needs help!

Dudley is an absolutely adorable 1-year old staffie mix, brindle and white with a pink and brown nose. He has a face you cant help but squish and kiss paired with a wiggle-y body! He really is just too cute for words, especially when you meet him in person; he ALWAYS puts a smile on your face. Dudley weighs about 50 pounds, is up to date on shots and will be neutered prior to adoption.

Unfortunately, Dudley's start has been a bit rocky, but we are determined to get him a brighter future. He was found as a stray, laying down in someones front yard. A passenger saw him and worried he had been hit by a car and animal control swiftly came and picked him up. Dudley has NO muscle mass in his rear legs and has developed a gimpy walk to accommodate for it. The shelter vet believes he has an old injury to his hip and that he wasnt recently hit by a car.

No one came back to claim Duds as their dog, so we rescued him from the shelter as soon as his stray time was up! He is currently staying at our veterinary office, having x-rays taken and receiving the medical care he so desperately deserves. Stay tuned for updates once we and our vet figure out what is going on!

It wont be long before Dudley is ready to be adopted so feel free to inquire and set up a time to meet him, he wont disappoint! Duds is dog friendly; he rode in the car with another dog to the vets office and they both were kissing each other through the crate.
