Overview
- Rufus, a 10-year-old Corgi, was brought to Oakwood Dog Rescue in Hull after his elderly owner died and no caregiver was available, leading to a pending euthanasia booking.
- Oakwood Dog Rescue made an exception to advertise Rufus despite usually listing only dogs already in their care, citing concerns about his ability to adjust to kennels.
- He is available for adoption for a £50 fee, with all vaccinations complete and neutering set to occur before he leaves the rescue.
- Prospective adopters must offer a calm environment without other dogs or cats and ideally have older children aged 14 and up.
- The rescue warns that cases like Rufus’s arrive weekly, underscoring how owner deaths without pet care plans strain shelter resources.
