OISIN

OISIN is a whippet and the poor boy is about 12wks old. OK so he isn't exactly a golden retriever but he is golden and how could anyone turn their back on him?

Janice found him with Sandie on a country road. He was dumped like a bit of garbage.

Janice says: "He is covered in mange from head to toe, the worse I've ever seen."

He is so frightened to go outside. When I had him in the jeep today, he hung his little head down so low, I lifted his head up to look at him and he looked back at me, his eyes filled with such sadness & yet acceptance that I too was going to abandon him. I just broke down crying............... it was heartbreaking."

"When we got back home, he jumped up & down, on his very sore paws, with delight. He couldn't believe that someone wanted him & was going to take care of him. Another night with food in his belly, a kiss & a very big cuddle before he's tucked up in his warm bed."

"I would say that he will be with me for some time as he is really a very sick little bag of bones. This pup is a really awful cruelty case."

Janice is paying for vet treatments for him from her own pocket and is prepared to nurse him back to good health always assuming the poor little soul makes it at all. We are all praying for him to get better.

THREE DAYS ON

Janice told us with delight "He is bouncing around like a proper puppy........ its so wonderful to see.

OISIN 5 DAYS ON


Oisin is now staying with Sandie whilst Janice is on holiday. She is bathing him in Olive & Almond Oils, Aloe First and Crisis twice daily and all the sores have now fallen off. The skin just has to heal now. He is a lovely calm boy, not at all phased by her 6 dogs.

OISIN 2.10.07

Oisin still has a long way to go but, already, he is a different dog. He is such a happy boy these days. He really adores the company of other dogs and is sooooooo cute.....................

OISIN AND FRIENDS

This is Oisin with Miss Daisy ( Janice took her out of the pound last year). She is 13yrs old & has very bad hearing. Miss Daisy is fear agressive with people & dogs so you can see by Oisin's face he know hes taking a chance sitting beside her. Brave or cheeky!

And this is Oisin with Flynn who was rescued from a puppyfarm in June 2007 (at 4mths old he was terrified of people) & Oisin, of course, was dumped on the side of a road.

Its great when we see pups like this who both have no fears any more. The only thing they have to worry about is what toy or game to play now.

UPDATE ON OISIN

Look how handsome Oisin is now. Can you believe that this is the same puppy who was covered in mange and was absolutely terrified just a few weeks ago?

Janice brought a fully recovered Oisin to the UK on 3/11/07 and he is already settling happily into his new home in Norfolk.

OISIN WITH HIS FOREVER FAMILY


Oisin is a really handsome, loving and very playful boy. He is very happy and he has settled in really well.

He is, most definitely, a part of The Brady Bunch already.

Jackie, who went to visit them said "It was delightful to watch Oisin and Poppy, the yellow lab, playing and getting on so well. Poppy didn't seem to mind Oisin playing with her toys at all. :)

The children think the world of Oisin as well as Poppy and play very nicely with both of them.

I am so happy to see Oisin has settled so quickly and I think that this has been a very good match for both humans and dogs."
