Beautiful 1 year old unsterilized sweet boy, he has a happy family for a good 1 year till his daddy and mummy separated recently. The daddy and mummy decided since the home sweet home is gone, there is no point for either the daddy or the mummy to keep this sweet boy also.
However, daddy and mummy does not understand that in Sweet boy’s mind his daddy and mummy are his only next of kin and he loves them dearly. Sweet boy has been waiting anxiously for daddy and mummy to take him home unfortunately, that day will never come. His heart has been broken as he sits and waits.
After the separation, Sweet boy was then boarded and from freedom to sudden cooped up in a small area in the boarding, the trauma was too much and he developed depression and seizure attacks.
The vet has said this is from stress and unhappiness and not a genetic ailment as Sweet boy has been visiting him since a puppy and is a healthy, happy little dog in the past. The vet also said that given love, stability, security and a new home, Sweet boy's fitting will eventually go away and he will recover however the vet said he may have to be on lifelong medication.
Sweet boy needs his medication twice daily to prevent the seizures from deteriorating further. Sweet boy is still young, he is handsome and extremely gentle in character. He hardly barks and sits sadly waiting for his family to pick him.
We know how to tell kids about separation and divorce but tell me, how do you tell this sweet boy that. We try but he sits by the door looking sad and paces around with no smile and no wag. He needs a home so he can have the love and hugs he once had when he had a home. Human issues and their fall outs does not concern him and should not but ultimately the casualties of these are the dear pets who suffer.
We are desperately appealing for the right owner who is willing to give Sweet boy a chance smile again and we hope, given time his seizures will be a thing of the past.
Sweet Boy does need a home where there is someone to accompany him as he might stress if left alone, his old fears haunt him. He does not bark but he gets very anxious. In time he may learn to be left alone but it will be good if he does not have to be alone for long periods of time during his first few months in a new home.
