On top of that, Rudy was not doing great mentally and his chances of recovery weren’t very promising.
The shelter workers knew they didn’t have the funds for Rudy’s treatment, so they made the heartbreaking call to put him on the euthanasia list.

However, Rudy’s fortunes changed when a kind woman walked into the shelter. Poor Rudy looked so haunted in his kennel that the woman immediately decided to become his foster mother.
While she did manage to pull him off the kill-list, his survival was still an uphill task.
For the next few months, Rudy’s life was filled with painful vet visits and loads of love and care from his foster mom.
As he slowly found the strength to stand on his own, he began venturing out into the backyard to mingle with his many foster siblings! But sadly, he wasn’t able to play due to his broken hip.
