More: I adopted Ruffino 2 years ago after he was saved from a puppy mill in CA. He was used as a stud and his estimated age was 7-10 years at that time. His sight is not good, he has no teeth and is deaf. His back legs are lame from spending so many years in a crate. He gets carried or rides in a stroller every where we go because of that. I call him my velcro dog because he will no leave my side.
