I am Rupert

• Sybille has been taking care of me since January 2026.

• I’m a boy, born in November 2009.

• I was hit by a car. With only three legs and 16 years under my belt, I’m not exactly the fastest anymore. The car struck my only back leg badly. I couldn’t walk and lay helpless on the hot asphalt in the sun.

• A man posted about me on social media. That’s how Sybille found out. She dropped everything and came straight away.

• Now I live in her garden alongside a whole gang of teenagers, enjoy the very best food, and even have my own little house.

• And here’s the crazy part: Sybille and I already knew each other. Back in 2019, one of my hind legs had to be amputated after it was broken. I was in a shelter at the time. And guess who was the one taking care of me back then? Exactly.

• Rupert weighs a proud 27 kilos, so lifting him is definitely not a spa treatment. And when he doesn’t want to do something, he simply doesn’t. He can be wonderfully stubborn. But cuddles? He absolutely adores them. A true gentleman — with a mind very much of his own.

• Adopted and an MDF member since January 2026.
