Paddington – Sponsors Needed
His black and white “cowdog” markings make Paddington a standout in any Greyhound crowd!
Found as a stray with road rash, an injured paw and multiple scrapes, he was transferred to the Sanctuary where we learned that he was not only suffering from a urinary tract infection and Lyme disease but a very large hernia. Sweet, friendly and outgoing despite his traumatic past, possibly as a field trial lurcher (mixed breed) hound or as a result of a backyard breeder, this stoic survivor swiftly underwent surgery, was neutered and had a full dental without losing any teeth. Aged between 4 and 5 and underweight at 56 pounds, Paddington is presently being treated both for his Lyme disease, which requires re-testing in 6 months, and for his urinary tract infection. And although he was initially recuperating well from his hernia operation -- complete with an 8-inch-long incision -- his dissolving sutures are now causing his delicate skin to react. While he may not be in pain, he’s back on a regime of anti-inflammatory medications and being carefully monitored in the hopes that he won’t require a second operation. Gifted with a Greyhound’s soft fur, reminiscent of bunny fuzz, melting brown eyes and a hearty appetite, he wants only to please his caretakers and play now that he’s feeling better. Despite an obvious prey drive for small animals, and having never been trained, he’s learning all about proper “doggy etiquette,” including how to walk on a leash. Hauntingly reminiscent of Greyhound Razzle Dazzle’s daughter Sugar, who was adopted out several years ago, we feel, in our hearts, that our late Irish lass Razz sent Paddington to us – to tenderly cherish and take care of forever. Won’t YOU please help us do just that by sponsoring Paddington or donating towards his ongoing care? |
