Taking care of our dogs is an extremely important task Making sure they are well fed groomed and healthy are all necessary to give your pup the best life possible
Understanding how important all of this is also makes it really heartbreaking when we are reminded just how difficult it is for stray dogs to take care of themselves
Because of this many of them end up looking horribly emaciated sick and matted Rudolph was stuck in the same situation
He was struggling to survive on the streets and his fur was severely matted but he caught a break when rescuers from Seattle Animal Shelter came to save him
Everyone Was Shocked

When the rescuers finally helped him get settled into the shelter he looked really comfortable Rudolph was a very friendly dog so it was easy to be around him
After waiting for a bit his rescuers realized that he really needed a grooming appointment His fur was severely matted and it was causing him a lot of problems
Melissa Mixon who works for Seattle Animal Shelter told Newsweek He kept bumping into walls and seemed to startle easily probably because he couldnt see well

They had no idea how he ended up in such a rough state The theory was that he belonged to someone but there was no way to confirm that
She continues by saying His movement was also restricted because of the severity of the matting and he was unable to take full strides when he was walking This kept him from moving very quickly and moving his head and neck around freely
Because of his breed his fur needed constant care and he was completely neglected They checked to see if he had a microchip

When the results came in and the rescuers confirmed that he did not have a microchip they took him to a groomer The entire process took at least an hour and a half before it was finally over
Now that Rudolph looked much better without all of that fur he was visibly more happy He got really excited and started jumping and running around the room
His rescuers were glad to see he was in such high spirits after his grooming I mean how wouldnt he be This problem was finally solved
Mixon said When taken out into the corral later that week Rudolph was springing up in the air with his legs flailing like a baby giraffe having the time of his life

Because he didnt have any other pressing health issues it meant that his rescuers could place him on an adoption list very soon
He was lucky because the rescuers were able to find a new family pretty quickly He is now in an amazing new home where his parents take care of all his needs
Sweet Rudolph is now living the dream life with the most amazing people and I am so happy everything turned out well for him
