Story
Strudel is looking for a home! This little girl came to us a few months ago unable to walk. We don't know what happened to her but due to her injuries we knew it was some sort of trauma. We don't know anything about her history but we believe she is around 5 or 6 years old and she weighs 20lbs. Strudel got an MRI and immediately had spinal surgery to repair her damaged spine. And after months of crate-rest and then physical therapy she is now walking again! She is truly a fighter! We know Strudel will continue to get stronger the more she moves and we would love her to go somewhere where she can continue to get occasional physical therapy. Strudel is a very active Boston Terrier and she can be vocal. She also tends to have stranger danger when she meets new people especially when there is a barrier (fence or pen). Strudel has been great with all the dogs here but she can't live with cats. She likes to chase them. She won't be able to do stairs or get on/off furniture on her own. Strudel is up to date on vaccines and recently had full bloodwork. She's scheduled to be spayed and have 2 broken teeth removed at our vet on 9/23. We would love to find her an adopter who can take her home after she's recovered from her surgery. To apply to adopt Strudel, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
As a Rescue do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. Meet Pua! This little pug mix boy is your new pint sized best friend! At 1 years old he has the goofiness of a puppy, but the sweetness of a lap dog. Pua is full grown at 30lbs and is the perfect size for any family or household. He is super sweet with all people and very dog friendly. He loves to run around the yard and then ends it with in your lap. The best part about Pua is his underbite! He is heartworm negative and ready to find his forever home.
