Reuben

About Reuben

Some dogs have been through more in three years than most could imagine — and still choose love.

Reuben’s story

Sadly, Reuben was abandoned on the street by his former owners. Having always lived in a home before, he was not used to traffic and was hit by a car. Our team then took him in and brought him straight to a veterinary clinic.

Reuben unfortunately lost an eye in the accident. His broken leg, however, has now fully healed. He needs no further treatment and moves without any restriction – Reuben can walk, run and play like any other happy dog.

Despite his sad past, he is a sweet dog who gives people his full trust again. Reuben deserves a second chance at a happy life.

Character & nature

Reuben is a true gentleman with the kindest, gentlest soul.

With people he is pure love. He adores cuddles, enjoys gentle petting and wants nothing more than to be close to his person — a big, soft-hearted cuddle-bug with an enormous heart.

He has put behind him what should never have happened, and now gives people his full trust and love again. You will probably fall for this special dog in no time.

Getting along with dogs, cats and children

He is incredibly sociable and kind to all dogs, regardless of breed or size. From the tiniest puppy to the biggest giant, Reuben greets everyone with a happily wagging tail.

Reuben also gets on very well with cats and children and has a lovely bond with them.

Health

After a car accident, Reuben had a badly injured eye and a broken leg. The injured eye was surgically removed (enucleation) and his leg has healed completely. He walks, runs and plays, and has no limitations in everyday life.

Reuben doesn’t see himself as different because he lives with one beautiful eye — he sees the world with more joy and love than most. He is healthy, happy, playful and ready for his new life.

His new home

Reuben has survived the worst and is ready for the best: a loving forever family who will show him that love is safe and that he will never be hurt again.

Could your home be the happy ending Reuben has been waiting for?
