KERRVILLE, Texas — A puppy in Kerrville now named "Tuffy" who had a ruff start to his short life, is now ready to find his forever family, thanks to Kerrville Pets Alive and Kerr County Animal Services (KCAS).
When Tuffy was only 4 months old, he was thrown against a wall, suffering very painful and extensive injuries from the alleged abuse.
Tuffy broke his shoulder, as well as his femur, requiring extensive surgery. He is now on the road to recovery and ready for a loving home.
"He is great with people, dogs and cats and he is very loving," said Kerrville Pets Alive.
Email info@kerrvillepetsalive.org if you are interested in adopting Tuffy.
