Rescue Rusty needs knee surgery

Waikato

Rusty is a 5 year old Pomeranian X who came to Paws 4 Life to be rehomed. After his vet check, it was discovered that Rusty has a luxating patella and requires surgery on his knee before he can be made available for adoption. Rusty must have his surgery to live a happy full life and without it, he cannot be rehomed. Rusty arrived at Paws 4 Life for rehoming a sad, scared, nervous, terrified dog. After some time in his foster home he is now such a joy; fun, affectionate, loving, playful and so, so happy! Help us, help Rusty - one surgery will set him up forever!
