My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Attention! RUFIO Here!
I am SWEET SWEET Patterdale Terrier mix looking for my forever home. I am a small sized kid, my birth date was December 6th 2015, 12lbs. I am a happy friendly dog, and love to be with humans. I am good with other dogs and I loved to be loved.

I am a lucky dog, I was surrendered to this amazing rescue only weighing about 6lbs. by my owners who could no longer care for me. But they didn't know how sick I really was. My new rescue saved my life. I almost died as I have a condition called EPI (Endocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). An EPI dog cannot absorb enzymes from their food and cannot gain weight, so I have to have this special enzyme powder put in my food every day. Had I not been rescued I would have died with my owners.

My best fit is a family that will not flinch at my special care. My powder lasts about 6 months and cost about $80 and I require a Vitamin B12 injection once a month. My rescue has offered to supply the first year of my enzyme care and a year supply of Vitamin B12 injections. I love my life and I love to eat now :) Its easy to care form me just mix the powder in my food in the morning :)

As you can see in my photos, I am affectionate and have a smile on my face as I am grateful to be alive today, and I am here just for you!
Yours with a happy tailwag!
