Zeus's sad start to life... We have a very special appeal for this precious Husky... please only forward this email to those who really care Zeus is a beautiful cream Husky with one blue eye and one cream eye. He is 3 years old and is medium in size. He has not been neutered yet but this expense will be paid for in 6 weeks time. Please read on to find out more about this doggy's very sad story... From the age of 3 months, Zeus was tied to a chain heavy enough to pull a truck. All day, he lay in the hot sun with no shelter from our trecherous thunder storms. Cowering out of fear, he longed for the end of each day. He longed for someone to come and rescue him from this terrible fate... Only three years later, the word got out that this poor Husky was in need of help. His terrible owner decided to go away for a week and left him all on his own to fend for himself and find any scraps of food within his limited reach. As you can imagine, food was few and far between and Zeus slowly fell into a coma. At this stage, unbeknown to his neglectful owner, he had billiary too making the state of his condition truly serious. A wonderful lady from Husky Rescue called Joanne, had been trying to convince the owner to hand him over to which he refused saying that he was vicious and needed to stay on the chain. When she saw the state of this dear dog while he was away, she had the chance to take him off the property and rush him to an emergency vet. The vet was totally shocked by his condition and couldn't believe how this poor dog had even survived so long. After weeks in the vet and daily visits from Joanne, Zeus started to get stronger. He showed so much gratitude and love for what Joanne had done for him. Finally, Zeus was able to go to a foster home where he could run around in a garden and live the life of any normal dog. The day before he was due to go to a permanent home especially picked for him, somebody at the foster home left the gate open and Zeus ran out into the road where a car knocked him over. Poor Zeus now had 2 broken hips... Joanne was notified and once again rushed him to the vet. The vet told her that this operation would cost in excess of R4000. But why should we give up on this boy who had been through so much already and deserved a third chance in life!? So Joanne managed in one day to raise the money to cover the costs of the operation. Zeus has now been with Joanne for the past 3 weeks. He is starting to walk slowly and will obviously have a problem for the rest of his life. He is otherwise, a very healthy dog. Zeus does not have one vicious bone in his body. He is extremely gentle and loving. He is happy just sitting next to his owner all day. He asks for nothing more than love and affection... After all that this dog has been through over the past 3 years, we want to find him a VERY special home. He is fine with other female dogs and is great with kids! All he wants is a lap to put his head in and a hand to stroke his nose and tell him everything is going to be ok from this day onwards. Zeus has not yet been neutered due to his broken hips but he will be in 6 weeks time. Joanne will cover these costs. The one thing we wish for Zeus is a fabulous home. We need a family who understands animals, will be patient with him and will love and spoil him unconditionally. He needs to sleep inside in a comfy basket, eat the best food and live the most pampered life. If you can offer him this type of devotion, please call Joanne from Husky Rescue on 082 851 9576. The strictest of property checks will be done and only the best home will be considered. Please - no chancers what so ever! If you know of someone who could give Zeus the best home possible, please foward this email to them... [Posted by: Davina at 11:30 am]
