When Rumpelstiltskin arrived from San Antonio as a neglect surrender in early April, his condition was heartbreaking. He had open wounds on his face, neck, and legs. His coat was matted and damaged. He clearly hadn't received the care he needed for a very long time.
But somehow, through everything he endured, Rumpel never stopped loving people. His foster describes him as incredibly resilient. Even while healing, he would push into people for affection, squeak for pets, and happily hand out kisses. Every week he grew healthier, more comfortable, and more confident.
Today, the wounds are healed. The skin issues are gone. His coat is growing back. And for the first time in who knows how long, Rumpel gets to just be a dog. Recently he's started making friends with other dogs and has even begun showing his playful side. Watching him discover toys, play, and carefree moments has been one of the best parts of his journey. Rumpelstiltskin is a 2-year-old boy who is heartworm negative, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He's affectionate, loves attention, enjoys pets, and gives kisses. He's also dog-friendly and moderately playful, and easily redirected. Rumpelstiltskin never stopped believing people could be kind. Now he just needs a family to prove him right.
