DOBBY’S STORY

We have no words to describe the following photos….

This little soul was picked up on the side of the road in Proteadorp by a good Samaritan on a Saturday. She was kind enough to look after him over the weekend and brought him to KAWS on 16 October.

We immediately had him examined by Dr Dave, who estimated that he was 10 weeks old. He weighed 3.22kg – a puppy this age should weigh in the region of 4-5 kg. He was given parasite control medication, vaccinated and has been put on nutritious food.

 

Dobby was fostered by a member of staff as he needed small amounts of food every half hour and had to be monitored 24 hours a day. On the 23 October he weighed 3.70kg. We knew then that he was a little fighter. He found his voice and his foster ‘mommy’ was reprimanded if that food bowl was not filled in time!

 

Once he reached 4.10kg, Dobby was paired with Suzi, a puppy of a similar age, in a camp (kennel) together. They are having a wonderful time playing and just loving life!

Dobby is ready to find the forever home he should have had.
