Hair trouble

Dio the lucher gets some tlc

This greyhound/lurcher has served his 7 days in the pound after being brought in by the dog warden. He is now lucky enough to have secured himself a rather nice foster home.

Dio, as he is now named, is a little bit bald as you can see from his picture. It isn't contagious but he is on medication for it now and his hair is slowly starting to grow back. The poor lad is very confused and everything seems to be very new to him. He was fascinated by the television and loves meeting new people. His foster mum says his tail never stops wagging.

Another dog who has been picked up by the dog warden is Trixie. She is an adorable terrier mix but her coat is in such a terrible state. We have booked her in at the groomers so it won't be long before she is feeling a bit more comfortable.

You can't see the extent of it from her picture, right, but her feet are solid with mats of fur.

The positive side to this is that in a couple of weeks this pair will be looking like different dogs and would have gained confidence and know what it is like to be loved.

In an ideal world these dogs should have been loved, wanted and looked after from the start but for some reason they weren't. Now they will get their second chances.
