Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Think this dog might be for you? The first step is to complete an application: http://www.mominpinrescue.org/p/adoption-application_30.html
We do not arrange transport for our dogs. If your application is approved, you will be required to come to us to pick up your dog.**
Ruppert came to our rescue from a neglect/hoarding situation. He is about 8 years old and weighs 13 pounds. He came to us with horrible skin issues and missing a lot of his hair. He has some allergies and it makes him itchy. His foster dad has him on Claritan to help, which has done wonders for him. His hair has grown back and the itching has eased up a lot.
He is okay with other dogs. He has not been kid or cat tested.
Ruppert is a good boy but he's not a fan of the vet's office and does best with a muzzle during those times.
If you are interested in meeting Ruppert, please complete an application. He is located in St. Louis and his adoption fee is $160.
