I am a six year old Labrador with a positive attitude to life. But to be honest, life was pretty bleak there for a while.
I came to GAWS in April as a severely underweight stray and my eyes had not been working properly for quite a while.
The lovely people at GAWS have been giving me some good quality (and yummy!) food to help me gain weight and feel healthy again, I feel so much better already. They put me on the scales every week, and the people are so happy with the kilos I’ve gained - they give me huge pats and tell me I’m the best boy.
The GAWS vets have done everything to make sure I am fit, healthy and comfortable as they prepare me to go to my forever home. I have had worming, flea treatments and vaccinations. I also had a procedure so I will never be a doggy dad.
They’ve treated me with lots of prescribed medication to help my eyes too. They even took me for a drive to an eye specialist to investigate my eye condition. Unfortunately the specialist said I am not a suitable candidate for corrective surgery, apparently my condition has deteriorated too much. But that’s ok, I seize every day with tail wags and have a great outlook on life. As long as I get love and care, I’ll thrive.
I get walked every day too, I just love getting out of my pen for a big play in the yard.
I am so so thankful to have found GAWS, as I am not sure where life would have taken me. I get a second chance at a happy life because of them. Hopefully I will graduate to a caring, loving forever home soon.”
