Well this afternoon I rescued a little girl from a pound as the warden was worried for her safety. she was picked up stray a week ago in a terrible state, she had red raw skin and little fur, a serious ear infection and it was clear that she'd had pups recently. She is skinny but has a round tum from the pups and possibly worms.
They believe she was stolen some time ago as she was picked up from near a travellers site where stolen dogs have been found. She is not chipped or tattooed and despite nationwide pleas no owner has come forward.
I got the call this morning, 7 days up so rather than hand her over to any organisation that may put her down they asked if and when I could take her ... "I am on my way" I said.
All I can say is i was near to tears when I first saw her. I trully believe she was once someones loving pet/ working dog. She is obviously a gentle girl, BUT she has been
very mistreated and neglected. She is terrified and is even worse with men.
I have bathed her (she stank) and she has a doggy coat and blanket wrapping her up as she really and trully has very little fur.
This girl has been through alot and is not going to be available for rehoming until she is fitter and her needs have been assessed. She is on antibiotics for her skin condition which is not contagious but is serious as is her ear infection. She will probably need more. She is returning to the vets on friday where further assessments can be made, she is going to need to be speyed and she is going to need time to recover from her ordeal.
I can't begin to explain how much this girl has touched my heart already because as I bathed her an put her in my arms to carry her downstairs I felt her little tail wagg I think for the first time in a long time she feels warm and safe. If I sit on the floor she climbs into my arms for a cuddle
HERE ARE HER PICS
Warm and cosy
The pound named her daisy and she is belived to be between 4 and 6 years old.
