Hello, I'm Dave

Introducing our gorgeous boy Dave , who has been with us for a while now. Unfortunately Dave arrived with us in a sad state, he had torn ligaments in his leg and was unable to walk properly . The team kicked into action and it was decided that he needed major surgery to fix this as a leg amputation will have put too much pressure on his other joints .

Thanks to your fundraising Dave has been able to have his operation! When he arrived at the vets they also realised that he had an old fracture in the same leg that had healed itself. We are devastated that Dave had to go through this and be in pain but luckily he is in good hands and is now on his road to recovery. He is currently on 2 weeks strict crate rest.

Dave is such a loving boy, he has proper puppy dog eyes and will stare into your sole until you give him some belly scratches. He absolutely loves his stuffed toys (especially his lion teddy) and will carry them around proudly! He can be a little nervous of quick movements initially but once he trusts you he settles down and enjoys a good fuss .

At the moment we are looking for a pet free home for Dave whilst he recovers , having a major surgery is tough on a dog and Dave is feeling a little sore – so to avoid any conflicts and help Dave recover fully we are looking for this. This is not to say he cannot have a doggie sibling in the future or have friends over post recovery !

He could also potentially live with children 12+ that understand his recovery process depending on intros done at the centre.
