He barely had any fur and his skin was riddled with deep wounds likely from being burned with battery acid and several ƈigareƗƗe burns.
He also could not walk because of a severely broken front leg. To add to his already horrible condition, he has Cushings Disease that went untreated.
The city shelter called the Northeast chapter of Special Needs Animal Rescue Rehabilitation (SNARR) for help and their director, Courtney Bellew rescued him.
Although, Courtney is used to caring for critically injured animals, seeing Rudy broke her heart. She told the Huffington Post that his front leg was in such bad shape, she refused to photograph it.
Rudy was traumatized emotionally as well. “It is a miracle this broken boy survived,” the group wrote on Facebook. “Other than being completely terrified and unsure of a kind human hand, Rudy was grateful and nothing but a lovebug from the minute we rescued him.”
One thing that has helped Rudy tremendously are medicated baths.
The group shared a video of Rudy getting one of his special spa baths, which are helping his skin and fur heal.
Note: the video may take a few seconds to load.
