Meet the magnificent Ruger! 🌟 This gentle giant is a lovely German Shepherd who's about 2 years old and weighs a robust 65 pounds. Ruger has the kind of spirit that can brighten the gloomiest of days and the kind heart that just begs for love and cuddles! ❤️ Despite facing some serious medical challenges, Ruger's patience and tolerance shine through like a beacon of hope. Just look at the way he interacts with all the furry friends he's met—he's a true companion, ready to share his life with someone special! 🐾 Now, let’s talk about Ruger’s ‘special’ situation because he definitely deserves a hero! He has some nerve damage in his right hind leg and a serious injury to his left front leg, which has an elbow fracture and is currently swollen—oh no! 😢 Our wonderful vet has discovered a couple of issues: a pelvic fracture on the left side and a Luxated left front with a chip fracture. Yes, it seems our boy will need surgery to fix that elbow and get him back on his paws again. 🏥 But fear not! Ruger's journey is just beginning, and with your love and support, he can lead a more comfortable and fulfilling life. And guess what? Ruger is destined to come back stronger and more lovable than ever! ❤️📅 Keep an eye on his bio for updates as we learn more about this charming boy’s personality and condition.
