Reuben – 4 year old male Spaniel Cross

Reuben is 4 year old male Spaniel Cross. This handsome boy has a beautiful silky chestnut coat and brown eyes. Reuben first came to us 3 months ago. A man came to the shelter and said he had just hit a dog with his motorbike. We went to pick him up and he was in a sorry state.

Obviously in pain and he had a hemorrhage in both eyes. X rays revealed he had a fractured hip. He went straight into foster and began his rehabilitation. It was around 3 weeks before he was able to walk and he had a lot of weight to gain. He has now made a good recovery and is sharing his life with 7 other dogs.

We were concerned as to whether he had a head injury so he was taken to the vet for a thorough examination. Everything was fine except during the accident some of the muscles in his eyes must have been damaged. His eyes now point slightly skywards so when he looks at you he looks like he is looking at the floor.

This hasn’t affected him in any way and ask you can see from the photos and videos, he is leading a happy, normal life. He still has a fair bit of muscle to gain in his back end but this will come with time and exercise. He is a very sweet, affectionate and loving dog who loves to play with the other dogs. He does have a fixation for cats so is better in a cat free home. He is such a delightful boy is loving, friendly and playful.

Foster Report : Came to the shelter after being hit by a motor bike. Reuben was such a sad little boy when he arrived. For 2 weeks he didn’t move and I carried outside to do his business. Then he was given some homeopathic treatment and he started to recover very well. He still holds his leg every now and again but he doesn’t let it bother him. He’s a really sweet boy who has settled well with my other dogs.

Current location is in a foster home in Portugal can travel to the UK once he has a home to go to.

Adoption Fee : £280 – to be paid direct to the Portuguese rescue to cover new, excessive, extra EU travel costs, via UK bank account.
