About Strudel

Strudel is eagerly searching for her forever home! This spirited Boston Terrier faced serious challenges when she arrived, unable to walk due to a spinal injury from past trauma. After receiving an MRI and spinal surgery, she showed remarkable resilience during her recovery process, and now she’s proudly walking again. Strudel is approximately 5 to 6 years old and weighs around 20 lbs. Strudel’s energy is unmistakable; she loves to be active but requires a home where she can continue her rehabilitation and physical therapy. While she’s friendly with dogs, cats are not a good match for her—she enjoys a good chase. She can be a bit hesitant when meeting new people, particularly through barriers like fences or pens. Due to her condition, she won't be able to manage stairs or leap onto furniture by herself. She is up to date on vaccinations and has a spay and dental procedure scheduled for 9/23. Strudel needs someone who can help her keep building strength post-surgery. If you think you can provide her with that loving environment, don’t hesitate to apply!
