UPDATE on Dog Below
His name is now Charlie
and his owners took him home for 1 night and
decided he would have a good home here sleeping in my
daughters bed and having people around all the time. We love
him to pieces but he has alot of issues probably from
his 5 weeks being lost. He scares very easily and takes
abit to regain trust. We have found out he is 18 years old and
a terrier cross. He came cross country about 18kms
without the coyotes getting him. He hates wet grass,
thunder storms prefers table scraps to dog food and hates
being alone the most. He is a wonderful addition to our family
and is loved by all that meet him.
FOUND
May 24th,2009 This dog came into
our yard. He was in real bad shape and has been on his own for
quit sometime. He is a male, neutered, completely deaf
and I'm guessing older as he has some teeth that have been
pulled, I think he has cataracts and he is not only
grey in color but lots of grey hair in it and around
his face and eyes. A white patch on his chest and feet.
Not sure of the breed but it is something that requires
regular grooming and hasn't been done in months. Very gentle
disposition. Good around other dogs. He might have been
lost or left behind from last years camping season and
was unable to hear his name being called. We
were going to take him to the SPCA but he deserves
some TLC first. Thorn bushes were so badly matted into his
skin he was unable to sit down. He was starving, thirsty &
exhausted. He walks very well on a leash, is house trained,
asks to go outside, loves to sit on your lap, sleep on the
couch and to be petted. He got a bath today and we are slowly
trying to groom him but the matting and is so thick and
his skin is sore he can only take it for so long. He is
also very partial to his beard so it probably won't be
getting trimmed. If you think you might know this dog please
phone us as we would love to see the owner be reunited with
him. 978-0732
May
26th. After 4 baths and 3 grooming sessions he finally has all
the matted hair off and smells presentable. His skin is sore
in spots but healing fast and is actually starting to
hear some things.
He walks so good on a leash and when
you tie him to something he lays down so I am definetly
thinking he is a city dog used to going for walks and being
tied up at a store as he doesn't pull on the leash as you walk
away or bark when you've gone out of sight. Look at how
handsome he is NOW!!
Yes, it's a bad haircut
