Rumi has been an absolute gentleman at the vet, has met other dogs successfully, and is so much fun!

Two surgeries later, Rumi and his (lack of tail) are ready to find a home! Meet Dr. Hannah, one of our shelter veterinarians at Ventura County Animal Services as she tells us about a favorite recent patient, Rumi the 2 year old Dobie/Shepherd mix. Rumi arrived at the shelter missing most of his tail, and with a nasty infection. When his tail didn’t respond to several weeks of treatment by our vet team, the VCAS Foundation and your donations were able to send Rumi out for a specialty surgery at VetSurg! Rumi remained an absolute gentleman throughout it all - even when his tail got infected AGAIN and required an additional procedure, plus crate rest in the vet’s office. Those in vetmed know just how special it is to meet a dog so well behaved and laid back for the vet! Rumi really was the perfect patient. All of that to say, Rumi is healed up beautifully and ready to be adopted! He’s open to meeting other doggies, and no further complications with his tail are anticipated. Big props to all involved in Rumi’s recovery - from Dr. Hannah and the VCAS veterinary team, to VetSurg, to the VCAS Foundation and YOU! Your donations made it possible for Rumi to get the care he needed. Thank you. ??
