In October 2020, Robin was found in front of a temple along with Mia. The temple host told the rescuers that they were both homeless. Mia had given birth several times already and the puppies all disappeared shortly after birth. . Robin had seemed to be ill for a long time but no one ever tried to help. The rescuer took both dogs for neutering and spaying and veterinary care. During X-ray testing, we found that Robin had an old pelvis injury . The fracture long ago healed on its own and luckily does not appear to influence Robin’s mobility. Robin will just need to take some supplements for joint health. The initial plan was to neuter Robin and release him back to where he was found. But during his care the rescuer discovered Robin had a wonderful temperament. He was unexpectedly obedient and picked up some commands right away. Unlike other senior dogs, he was very active and friendly to people, even with strangers and children. It became obvious that Robin had been well trained by previous owners, such as knowing how to sit or lie down when people give him treats. Robin’s disability immediately after what we assume was a car accident is very likely the reason he was abandoned. Getting to know Robin’s personality has been such a wonderful surprise for our rescuers. We hope a new family can share this pleasure, appreciate what a sweetheart Robin is, and provide a loving place he can call home.
