Buddy has a home

I had just asked someone at my Liverpool shelter whether they could take Buddy and lo and behold that day a family came and fell in love with him.So, pending a homecheck Buddy will be off to his new home very soon.Poor Buddy has not had much of a life until he came here,his owners never exercised him and then wondered why he kept escaping from the garden.He is no trouble here, he loves the fields to run and play in and his greatest enjoyment in life is his rubber Kong.He will love the attention of the familys teenage boys.He is not the prettiest dog in the world but he makes up for it with character.
Today had some visitors from Liverpool who have a dog from the liverpool shelter,its always nice to see supporters who are here on holiday.many are surprised when they see our Porthmadog shop with the Freshfields Animal Rescue sign, they dont realise we are so near to Porthmadog.
The Equine Dentist came yesterday and to our surprise he told us the Anglesey ponies are younger than we were told.Bobby the shetland is only 5 years of age and the others are aged between 10 and 12 years.He is more accurate with their ages, it is interesting to learn how he is able to do this by the indents and colouring of the teeth.All 7 plus Tanya needed to be anaesthetised for dental treatment.The other surprise was that Tanya is not 35 as first thought but only 24 years old. The vet Dafydd attended in order to administer the anaesthetic and also Im afraid to put to sleep the old German Shepherd Jet whose legs had completely given way. We made him as comfortable as possible and sat with him before the vet did his job and he went peacefully.Never an easy decision to make but he was in great pain and his treatment had failed to work.
A few people came to see cats but went away to think about it, I never expect to see or hear from them again when they say this so hope I am proved wrong this time.
We really need some homes, there are so many on the waiting list to come in.
