Rescuing dog on Saturday please help

[ifonerememberstoturnonthelight]

Hi I'm collecting a dog from our neighbours on Saturday that is in terrible condition. He's 13 ish, cries constantly and bangs into shit in the garden. He lives in a kennel and the rspca is not interested so I'm going to get him on Saturday. Obviously the first thing we need to do is take him to the vet, but he stinks so maybe he'll need a wash first?

He's so passive it makes me so sad, he's never been for a walk and it's only now we're able to talk to the neighbour about maybe giving him up.

Do we keep him away from our other dog? And he's never been inside so how do we transition him? I'm not a green dog owner but I've never actually picked a dog up away from its neglectful owners before.

Aww sending ear scratches to Keith

If you end up reuniting with the owners of 2008 that is going to be amazing 🙏😭

OP you are the best!

Keith, you are one lucky little dog!

wonder if his old owners can be tracked?!

Just checking in to see how Keith and his family are doing ?

He's doing good today. He's been at day care whilst I had a small op. He spent the day sniffing and pottering about.

He's back at the vet on Wednesday for hopefully a better appointment than last week!

Here he is in the big dog bed. He needs a blanket as the lump on his bum bleeds randomly and he's decided my unicorn oodie is perfect so there we are!

Keith is just gorgeous, this makes my heart sing. Op you are awesome for giving Keith his happy time

Wishing you both a speedy recovery @ifonerememberstoturnonthelight.

Please tell me you didn’t wear that unicorn hoodie out in public ??

What a wonderful person you are and Keith looks adorable, I have a Border Terrier who is getting an extra cuddle tonight after reading this thread.

Just casually rescuing dogs and having a little op here and there....

Get that woman a cape and a pair of superhero knickers!!!

@ALLIS0N hahah! No! It's a giant hoodie and it's only for wearing in the house! Or sleeping on!

Keith looks so comfortable and relaxed. It must be like being in heaven for him after all those hard years . Thanks so much OP. 😁

Wow I love this, you are amazing OP. Such a lucky old boy

Thank you for giving Keith some happiness. Anyone who loves dogs has a heart swelling with joy at what you’re doing. You’re a good woman

I now want a unicorn oodie.
Keith looks comfy

Awww he looks so comfy loving the updates 🥰

Op

Love the updates wish there was more people in this world like you

Wonderful xx

Awww OP I'm loving these updates. Lucky Keith.

He looks worn out from day care!!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Thinking about Keith’s age, he could be nearer 13 than 16, don’t most people microchip as puppies, we certainly did. Good luck at the vets tomorrow.

Aww op you gave him your Oodie! You just get better and better 🥰

What a lovely thread. Such a great thing you've done. All old dogs should have a safe, loving comfortable home. I'm sure he's feeling so much better ♥️

He must like the unicorn hoodie because it has your scent, so already he feels safe with you.

I love this thread, you're brilliant and I'm so pleased he's settled 🥰

Good luck at the vets OP. I hope they manage to de-worm him to help his digestive issues.

Aww this thread is so sweet! Bless him and you're fantastic OP x
