Dog found abandoned in the woods is making recovery
Animal welfare officials have issued an appeal for information after a
dog with heavily matted fur and in desperate condition was found in
Burford, southwestern Ontario, Canada. The dog, who is now being called
Shrek because he looked liked a swamp creature when he was discovered
last Wednesday, is healing and finally receiving the love that he needs.
But officials at the Brant County SPCA want to know where he came from
and how it is that he came to be in a wooded area to fend for himself.
“We're appealing to anyone who may know anything about this dog to give
us a call,” Brandon James of the Brant County SPCA, said. “He was in
terrible condition when he was found - his fur was badly matted and it's
obvious that he had been outdoors for quite some time.”
Shrek is being cared for by Dr. Brenda Gough, of the Park Road
Veterinary Clinic and the Southern Cross Equestrian Facility. It was
through the clinic that Shrek has received the care he needs. “I think
he is a puppy mill dog and I'll bet he has spent most, if not all of his
life, in a cage,” Gough said. “He was anaemic, had very low protein and
he could barely walk because his legs were hurting from all of that
hair and mud caked on him for so long.”
She and others who saw Shrek's condition can't believe that anyone would
let something like this happen to an animal. They're outraged by what
has happened. Still, Shrek cleaned up really well and looks wonderful
after all the matted fur was shaved off. “The biggest issue for him is
behavioural,” Gough said. “He's afraid of his own shadow. He isn't mean or aggressive but it's obvious that he doesn't know what love is.”
