A small senior dog, who has been described as a “mess,” needs some help at a New York City animal shelter. The 10-year-old dog, Rufus, is being held at the Animal Care Center of Manhattan, and he could use some tender loving care.
On Saturday, the Must Love Dogs – Saving NYC Dogs Facebook page posted a photo of Rufus, writing:
