All our dogs have a sad story to tell, but every now
and again a dog comes along who just takes your
breath away ...
I found Marley who was abandoned in a public
pound with two broken legs and he had been shot in
one eye. Some vile individual had obviously tried to
kill him. But somehow our boy survived .
My first sight of Marley was him struggling across
the pound on his back legs as he could not put any
weight on his front legs at all due to the mid shaft
fractures. We all cried so much when We first saw
him. It quite frankly broke our hearts in two.
Then the anger came, how could someone do this ,
what could we at Happy Paws do to help.
Contact was made with two amazing people Tracey
and Dean Baker and we worked together to put a
plan in place to save Marley. Tracey and Dean fostered
him and have been amazing at nursing our boy
back to health. I immediately alerted the Happy Paws
supporters and before long enough money had been
raised to send Marley to the best orthopaedic vet in
Turkey.
The operation went well and although it’s been a long
journey Marley is now living happily in the uk with a
wonderfully dedicated family.
Marley’s story has touched many hearts. Although in
the past he was cruelly let down by humans his future
is now bright filled with kindness, support and above
all love.
This wonderful story is purely down to incredible
team work and all having Marley’s best interest at
heart
Marley’s story is inspirational that by coming
together and working as one great things can be
achieved. I am so proud that Happy Paws and its
army of wonderful supporters played our part in re
addressing the balance in our fight against animal
cruelty.
Since we have teamed up with Tracey and Dean
many other goldens are waiting for their turn to
travel.
This is rescue at its finest and in true Happy Paws
style another precious life is saved and we could not
be happier.
