Re: Poor little soul


I really like boxers and am so saddened to see a picture like that. FGS - how much more difficult/expensive is it to give him enough food rather than just some food.
Fingers crossed for him to be happy for the rest of his life.
Maybe it's a good thing you're a way away from me Jac - I'd be really tempted and Dinah would love a friend.........

xxxxs to you Jac. Thank goodness you, and Smudgely and the others, do what you do.

Re: Poor little soul


I find it really hard to believe a supposed loving home could not see he was starving. They should have their food taken away from them and not given enough to live on. They should also be banned from ever owning any other animal for life.

Re: Poor little soul


We have had him to the vet. He only weighs 15 kilos. He should be about 28. He goes back on Friday. He also is on antibiotics for his pressure sores and he has cuts in his ears. Dont know how . Antway ladies he will be well cared for. Will let you know how he gets on on Friday.

At least he is young enough to enjoy a proper home. Good luck with him Jac let us know how he gets on at the vets. Give him a very gentle hug from me.

Kay.

Re: Poor little soul


aww thats so sad,that poor thing. how come no matter how badly treated an animal will always still lvoe it's owner and wag it's tail when it sees them, hoping to get loved and fed? If it wer em i'd bite thier butts so hard! the poor thing. If you cant afford to feed a pet properly dont get one.

Re: Poor little soul


Hi all
I saw Simba today and he is gaining weight. He is dreadfully hand shy and is going to take some work. He has bitten twice, but he was off the lead and the person who had him out raised her hand to take hair out her face. Then hey presto he thought he was going to get hit. He's going to be castrated soon as well (once he has gained a few more pounds) he is a wee sweetie though. I'm sure he is workable.

Re: Poor little soul


The girl that is working with him is great. I have no doubts she will be able to turn him round. Once he realises that he is getting fed regularly and not hit whenever someone feels like it he'll be fine. It wont happen over night but I'm sure it will. You get a "feeling" about animals and he just wants to be loved. It will be about 6 months before he's fit to move to his forever home I think. There will be a special home for him when he's able to move on. As for the people (I use that term loosley) that had him..........well the SSPCA have taken there other dog.
