Willow got here in the care of Arundawn Dog Rescue, near Horsham, last month, after hanging out in a council pound.
She was discovered by a member of the general public as a roaming, so it isn’t understood precisely where she originated from, however the charity think she was formerly utilized as a racing greyhound and was potentially even taken.
Upon arrival at Arundawn, five-year-old Willow was emaciated and was missing out on half of each of her ears, as if somebody had actually ‘chopped them off with a pair of scissors’.
Elaine Barter, owner of Arundawn, said: “If you fold the ears, you can see clearly where the cut’s been made by literally folding the ear in half vertically and cutting through it with scissors or sheers – something sharp.
“Generally speaking, because both ears have been cut off, the likelihood is that she is an ex-racing greyhound that was either at some point in her life stolen or sold and her identity concealed.
“She’s been bred from multiple times, but she’s an amazing dog.”
Despite the scaries Willow has actually experienced, she is ‘coming on in leaps and bounds’ in foster, where she is remaining together with 2 other ex-racing greyhounds.
Willow is not yet available for adoption however the charity intends to discover her the caring home she is worthy of as soon as she is all right.
