This poor little Westie came in as a stray, he’s in a shocking condition, very thin and neglected and with sores all over his body. We’ve called him Perro, he’s a sweet natured little dog and will make a super companion for someone when we get him right. He’s an emotional wreck at the moment though. How did he get into such a bad state? No one has come forward to claim him, it’s not surprising is it? It will take a long time and a lot of intensive care to get him better. If you have any tins of sardines or mackerel to spare please bring them in, a diet of oil fish will help him a lot. We are what we eat and that goes for dogs too.
Perro hardly weighs anything underneath all that tangled fur. Now he’s settled down the next step is a shampoo and set. The medicated treatment is expensive though and we’re already under pressure with vet bills for the all the kittens.
We know that we’ll get there in the end but if anybody could help us with even a small donation that would be a tremendous relief. We’ve launched a £1.00 for Perro appeal. If enough kind people were to send us £1.00 we would be able to pay the vet bill at least. Can you spare a £1.00 for Perro? Paypal, cheque, postal order (please make payable to Pet Samaritans), we’ve a collecting box in the sanctuary or even a £1 coin in an envelope would help.
Getting his weight up is a priority and Perro has a good appetite.
A holistic approach is best, treating the whole dog and not just certain symptoms. Getting him over his confusion and depression will make a big difference. His old life has thankfully gone and he is adjusting to having lots of love and reassurance. We’ll put regular updates online so you can see his progress.
Please help if you can. With lots of love from Perro xxx
