Will you be there for pets like Nutcracker?

Last winter, a dog warden found a very frightened, abandoned Saluki and brought him to us for urgent treatment and care.

Nutcracker had a limp as well as terrible, grazed skin covered in sores. Our vets cleaned up his grazes and put a boot on his foreleg, which was in a very bad way – this helped to keep it dry and clean. His right foot was also swollen and very sensitive between his toes, so he was given some anti-inflammatories for pain relief. The team also gave him medicated foot baths to reduce the swelling.

During his stay with us, our dog care team worked on building Nutcracker’s confidence by slowly introducing him to other dogs. He soon opened up and blossomed into an affectionate canine who loved dogs – and humans too!

Once recovered from his health issues, we were delighted to find Nutcracker a new home. He’s now settled in with adoring owner Jackie, who’s renamed him Zen.

Found by a member of the public in their garden, Ernie was in a very vulnerable state with a severe facial injury. They took him to a local vet who confirmed the injury was as bad as it looked – Ernie’s jaw was broken. He was placed into Woodgreen’s care for emergency surgery, which involved putting a wire through his jaw.

His road to recovery included lots of rest and being fed through a tube, then surgery to remove the wire. But it didn’t end there for poor Ernie. Not long afterwards, he had to have his canine teeth removed too. After going through such a traumatic ordeal, we were overjoyed to find Ernie a loving new home. His owner has renamed him Hephaestus – and we hear they’ve really hit it off!

With your support, we can continue to be there for more emergency cases like Ernie.
