Curled up in a ball in the street, Rudy wasn’t just abandoned—he was subjected to unthinkable cruelty. Children were seen throwing rocks at him, over and over again, as he tried to disappear into the pavement. A kindhearted bystander witnessed the horror, intervened, and rushed him to our partners at Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control. Just hearing his story brought tears to our eyes… and that was before we saw his injuries.

He did NOT deserve this. And we will do everything in our power to ensure he never suffers again.

Rudy has been the underdog in his past, but that ends now. With your support, we will give him the medical care, love, and second chance he so desperately needs. We’ll help him heal—not just physically, but emotionally—so he can finally experience the kindness and compassion he was so cruelly denied.
