Rusty

[Stagecoach]

This little fella looking lost I spotted in the lane outside our house early morning on Christmas day and soon after I found him cowering in our yard. Traumatised, weak, skin and bones and in a very poor state we have done all we can to help him over the few days.

There are wounds on him that I suspect have been caused by a cane knife (machete) and it looks like they are healing ok, how and where he has been living we have no idea.

Meet Rusty after some TLC, square meals, bug removal and a bath.

He looks a nice dog that will probably repond well to some kindness.

Handsome pup.

I hope to speak for others when I say that I would love updates on his progress

I think it is safe to say that Rusty picked the right yard to cowar in. Well done in helping him out!

Thanks for taking care of him Grahame , I'm really happy to see that he is safe now

[NorthernFocus]

Good on ya!

[Stagecoach]

Thank you guys,

Rusty is progressing well, seems to recognise his new name or it may be he recognises sounds that comes from the ones that feed him

Concerns about injuries other than superficial have lessened as he's now started jumping up and using me as a bone Not sure about the badly bloodshot eyes but there's no vets available for advice this week.

The next thing is to consider his long term future.

I wish I am near, I can help...thank God for people like you and your wife ... I am sure he doesn't mean to hurt you when he play bite...I thought something is wrong with his eyes too...can we see some progress images when you have him sorted out by the vet?

It breaks my heart what cruelty people inflict on dogs and other animals.

Thanks for saving this wonderful dog...
