Rumplestiltskin arrived from San Antonio as a neglect surrender in early April, and his condition was heart-wrenching. Open wounds marked his face, neck, and legs, while his matted coat told a story of neglect. Despite everything, he held onto his love for people. His foster describes him as incredibly resilient; even while recovering, Rumpel would lean into people for affection, squeak for pets, and shower them with kisses. Today, the wounds have healed, and his coat is growing back. Rumpelstiltskin has started to experience joy like never before. He's making friends with other dogs, showcasing a playful side that had been hidden away for too long. Watching him discover toys and enjoy carefree moments is a heartwarming sight. At just 2 years old, he is heartworm negative, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and most importantly, ready to find a loving family who will prove to him that kindness exists. Rumpelstiltskin thrives on affection, loves attention, and enjoys giving kisses. He's looking for love—will you be his forever home? Rumpelstiltskin is currently being fostered in San Marcos, TX.
