Long Term Foster
We have several rescues at PAWS that have been placed in long term foster homes. Some are needing regular medical care or have special needs which may include daily medication and monitoring. PAWS covers all costs for dogs and cats in long term foster for life.
Othello
Othello is a big beautiful Ginger domestic shorthair. He is 13 years 9 months old and was surrendered by his owner. He has recently been diagnosed with Diabetes and is on special medication and food. He has daily dip testing on his urine and regular blood/urine tests when required to help manage this condition, also while in the care of PAWS he has had some dental work at the vets and he has been given a re start on his vaccinations as well as flea and worm treatment.
Skye is a Husky aged 12 years. She has been through it a bit, having to undergo 2 cruciate repairs and now suffering from Arthritis. She was surrendered to PAWS by her owner who had no choice due to ill health, but took an active part in ensuring her girl went to the perfect home. Skye has monthy injections of Librela to ease her pain and is currently having top-up painkillers as the Librela has started to be less effective. She is coping at present and our veterinary trustee sees her regularly to assess her pain management is in an excellent home and we love to see her at our shows and events locally.
Skye
Dexter
Dexter came to PAWS in a poor state. He had a lot of hair loss and needed Vet treatment and a lot of TLC. He has had all that and now lives happily with his carer. Dexter is a regular visitor to our coffee mornings. Being an older lad, he needs trips to the vet now and again but all costs are met by PAWS.
Dexter is also on a special diet food which is supplied by the charity.
Frank
Frank is a large and very lively three year old Mastiff cross. He had been living in a semi derelict building for long periods on his own. Frank is a tripod after sadly having his front leg amputated as a puppy after being hit by a car in the road. Because of this, he needs to be monitored so he doesn't overdo it as he can put too much strain on the existing front leg. Frank does not realise this. He is a lively boisterous dog who loves life and can be a handful at times. Frank lives at the farm where PAWS have the use of kennel space when we need urgent space. He did go out on foster and he jumped out of the garden over a high fence! The farm is a place where he seems very happy. He is our poster boy and he attends many of our fundraisers as he is well known and well loved by the community.Frank has Synoquin (a veterinary grade joint support) on a daily basis and also has a special diet food as he has a sensitive tum!
