Pluto the dog is looking for a caring foster home to recuperate in after he was abandoned at the veterinarians with a damaged leg which later on needed to be cut off.
The seven-month-old puppy was rescued by the Rotherham-based animal charity Helping Yorkshire Poundies, after he was abandoned by his owners at the veterinarians in a dreadful condition. The charity shared heartbreaking images of the ‘emaciated’ dog as it appealed for somebody to foster him and reveal him the love and compassion he is worthy of while he recuperates from his ‘terrible start’ to life.
The charity pointed out the urgency of finding a foster home within the week in order to avoid putting the poorly puppy in the kennel. He is described as a ‘nervous’ boy which implies he cannot be positioned in a home with kids. He has not yet had his behaviour examined around other animals, so he will likewise require a pet-free home.
Posting on its Facebook page, it said: “Poor baby Pluto has been hit by a car, which has sadly broken his leg. He was left for days without veterinary attention, but eventually handed in to the vets. Pluto is just a puppy at seven-months-old, emaciated, and has had to have his leg amputated.
“Pluto wasn’t wanted by his owners, so, with nowhere else to turn, the vets reached out to us. We couldn’t say no – if we couldn’t help, he would’ve been put to sleep. The vets desperately didn’t want this for him, and neither did we! He deserves so much more than he’s had in his short life.
“What a terrible start to his short life he’s had but, with your help, we will turn this boy’s luck around! We are absolutely determined that he will now have the life he’s always deserved.”
Helping Yorkshire Poundies is run by a group of volunteers who it says ‘work tirelessly to help dogs on death row’. The charity counts on contributions to support its work conserving and rehoming dogs from pounds.
