Over the Bayram holiday we received a phone call from Sah supermarket about a large dog in distress that they believed had been hit by a car. Centre staff responded to the call for help and went to the supermarket. When they arrived they saw it was Roman, the kangal who lives around the market and spends a lot of his time sitting or laying outside the front of the store. Roman was in a great deal of pain and could not stand. He was taken to Vetpoint where he was x-rayed and checked over for other possible damage to his body. Fortunately there were no broken bones, but he was badly bruised and had some deep wounds on the underneath of all 4 legs. Antibiotics and pain killing medication was given. The vet on duty thought it was probably caused by a collision with a vehicle.

Roman was taken to our rescue centre for his continued care. Even though we put 2 buster collars on Roman to prevent him for licking his wounds, he still managed to get to them and we had to dress them daily.

Sah market paid for his veterinary treatment and donated towards his food and medication whilst at the Centre. Thank you Sah and their staff for showing compassion and kindness to this gentle street dog.

Roman was taken back to Sah today where he was welcomed by staff and shoppers. We think he’s happy to be back!

Candy

This sweet girl was brought into centre along with her siblings in April 2015. She was about 3 months old at the time.

Despite numerous appeals over the years, she remains at the Centre. Now 9 years old, she would love her own forever home and a happy ever after.

She is friendly little girl who loves a walk (although not at the moment as it is too hot!!) and enjoys the sunshine on her face.

If you can’t offer her a home, please sponsor her for £10 per month – it’s really easy to set up.

Please share for Candy and let’s find that loving home that she deserves so much!

Wally the wedding guest!

One of our dogs, who now lives in the UK, was recently the perfect guest at Victoria and Tom’s wedding. Doesn’t Wally look handsome with his special bow tie?

Wally and his siblings came into our rescue centre with their Mum, and all have been very lucky and found homes. We think that Wally enjoyed his day at the wedding, he looks like he’s loving all the attention!

We’re sure you’re all keen to hear how Chiquita is getting on! She has been to the vets and had an ultrasound – the vet believes her puppies are due in about 7-10 days’ time.

Thank you to all of you that have donated towards Chiquita’s care, so far we have raised about £250 (10,500tl). Niyazi at Petline has kindly donated a box of his new dog biscuits for her, they are specially designed for small breed dogs – perfect for Chiquita.
