I NEED A HOME – CAN YOU HELP ME?
My name is Ray, I am
nearly 6 months old (born approximately beginning of December 2011) and I live
in Sal, Cape Verde.
They call me ‘The Miracle Puppy’ because no one knows how I
survived. I was brought to the SOS
Cats & Dogs clinic in January after being hit by a motorcycle and I had
already been unconscious for several days. No one knew what was wrong with me, but everyone wanted to
give me a chance. Ines, the vet,
treated me with fluids, antibiotics & vitamins & hoped for the
best. I stayed in a box in Jacquie
& Neal’s house and little by little I started to wake up. Eventually I began to be able to move
around a little. At first I could
not stand up or walk, I would try & try but I would just fall down in the
sand. I was really comical and
made everyone laugh! They all
thought that I would be disabled but I proved them wrong. Now I can run, play & be naughty
just like other puppies, I still have some trouble seeing clearly but that’s
getting better and anyway nothing can stop me! I was living with Izzy and she was a great foster Mum, but
at the moment I have to live alone on a patio in Santa Maria. Even though the volunteers are taking
great care of me, I really need someone special in my life that I can smother
with the all the love that I have inside me. I hope you like my photos – it’s hard to get a good one
because I never stay still!
CAN YOU OFFER RAY A HOME IN
EUROPE?
Ray’s paperwork is almost complete and he will be ready to leave Cape
Verde by the end of May.
Assistance can be given for the cost of the flight if necessary. Ray is about 15kgs and is the height of
a beagle – he probably has a little more growing to do. Although he is partially sighted he is
very enthusiastic about life!
Consequently he needs a home where he has some outside space to let off
steam – he does see things but cannot always stop before he runs into
them! He does not appear to have
anything wrong with him that would entail a lot of veterinarian costs, but he
would need to be checked out once he is in Europe. He responds well to whistles and is beginning to learn to
walk on a lead. He is fine with
other dogs & cats but older animals might find he is a little too
boisterous for them right now.
Please remember he is still very young but he is smart & capable of
learning. He has not been with
young children. He is very
affectionate and would be best suited to someone who can spend a lot of time
with him.
