Rupert’s age is estimated to be around five. Not a lot of information on his background is available but it is known he was kept as a breeding dog. His shy and nervous ways suggest he was not treated kindly. He now has a good life ahead of him away from the breeding industry where dogs are treated as commodities. Rupert, like all dogs deserves so much better.

Winnie and Zoe lived in poor conditions before they had the better fortune to be taken in by Miniature Schnauzer Rescue Ireland. They had been used for breeding and it’s likely the conditions were typical of many low welfare breeding facilities.
