To the person who dumped her

EGAR

I hope when you are old and past your "breeding age" the people around you, those whom you love, will dump you when you are at your most vulnerable. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Poor guy, keep up your good work EGAR.

God bless and reward you for all that you are and all that you do. The dog is safe with you now....

This girl has such sadness in her eyes, but thanks you to the future is looking much brighter for her:)

Looks like she'd make a stunning companion for some lucky person.

Great work saving her, I duno how ppl do that to animals.

Munster Gal

If the people who dumped her have kids and they've seen how their parents treated that poor dog I'd say there's every chance they'll end up in similar circumstance in their old age. I firmly believe that owning animals has taught my kids all the valuable lessons they'll need for life - compassion, love, responsibility, empathy, hard work, committment and joie de vivre!!

Why Why Why!!! it makes me sick to hear there are people out there that would do such a horrible thing to any animal.

Keep up the good work EGAR

seanybiker

Kenno90

hotredhead

That poor dog looks so sad.Why are some people so cruel.Fair play to you Egar.Please post how she fares out.

SW81

Well done on your work Egar, you're amazing! What will become of her?

Morganna

Wexford Girl

I can't understand how someone could have a dog for so long
and then suddenly turn around and dump her and not even care what happens to her??!!
so what if shes old shes still the same loving, loyal dog who's been there for
you throughout those years.
how scared must the poor dote be?wondering where her owner is and whats happening to her. it just breaks me that people can be so bloody cold and heartless.:mad::mad:

Fair play to you Egar, please let us know how she gets on.

jaffa20

People have to understand that pets do stray and the owner could have been and could still be searching for this dog thinking it is dead.

EGAR

Yes, Jaffa, animals do stray but they don't tend to wind up with old and new pressure sores some of which have already ulcerated, mange, severly malnourished and with untreated mammary gland tumours, nor do they tie themselves onto gates. I do not post lightly.

She has been seen by my vet this morning, got her first mange treatment and once she is a bit fitter will undergo an OP to remove the two tumours.

Her name is Leonie. I think she likes that name .

ncmc

Well done Egar, it's nice to see a dog get a second chance at happiness. They are so trusting and forgiving, if a human had been treated like that, they would take the hand off the next person that went near them. Please keep us updated with her progress. Leonie is a lovely name, it suits her!:)

Morganna

Wow Egar that name really suits her Leonie ,She is like a lioness.She looks so sad please keep us updated on her progress .I hope the person who did that to her knows what goes around comes around they will have nothing but bad luck .

You're a legend tbh

Not just dogs. They do it to sheep too.

A few years ago, we had an old ewe dumped at our gate with her legs tied together.

We knew that flock well, and she had had twin lambs the year before.

Gentle, friendly old girl. Knew she was safe with us.

We were sure she was in lamb; but she had a slight prolapse so maybe the farmer thought she would not be able to deliver a lamb.

Sure enough, she had a lovely wee ewe lamb with us; we could not keep them so she went to a "petting farm" where they are good folk.

Nothing we can do about what other folk do; is what we do that matters as Egar knows.

EGAR

Leonie has been wormed, had her first vacc and has been treated for mange . She is such a lovely girl and can already be walked off leash. Her pressure sores are healing nicely as well. She ignores my horses and has such a lovely even temperament! She is also clean in the house!! Loves to ride in the van. Vet was impressed with how placid she is!






She'll soon be ready for her OP and after that she will be looking for a couch of her own!

Wexford Girl

Aww she looks so well compared to before. Well done egar

opti76

what a beautiful dog

jigsaw07

fair play to who ever rescued her, she will make a great companion to who ever gets her, what breed is she? pitbull, bordeux mastiff? as to the people who dumped her well done ye must be so proud of yourselves.

alcon1984

wow she is lovely, she can have my couch anytime

tman

Fair play to you, it really is heartwarming to see that there are people like you out there.

Unfortunately there are also people out there who do this kind of **** to poor defenceless animals. Scum of the earth imo... A waste of oxygen!:mad:

Best of luck rehoming her, she's a beautiful creature and deserves to go to a loving home

EGAR

My educated guess is DDB x Boxer. She does walk like a Boxer and it would also explain why some idiot tried to dock her (her tail is only half the length it should be). She is only knee-height. She was tied to the gates of a pound and since she was due to be pts'd I took her out of the Pound. Dogs like her are always being overlooked by the public and most other rescues.

Munster Gal

She was probably abandoned because she's so sweet. A friend of mine rescued a staffie who was badly beaten by some lower life forms who wanted him to be nasty and aggressive!!! Max was such a softie it just wasn't in him to be a fighting dog so he lived out his life as a pampered pooch who had so much love in him. Egar you've a bed in heaven!

EGAR

With a visitor, Nate and Francis the Donkey...

Fantasy_Suicide

That's one fabulous looking dog!! Good job! It's great to know there's some decent people out there.

Ohh, fabulous name! (Since it's my name! Very rare too) Beautiful dog, hope she finds a lovely home to enjoy the rest of her years in.

Nice one. I just don't get it..... Poor love.

Madame Razz

What a beautiful dog!!

Is she having her op soon?

biggybum

Turns my stomach everytime i see summit like this, just plain disgusting what people are capable of doing !! Well done on homing and looking after her she's a beaut.

tinkerbell

Oh she looks so sad

EGAR

Leonie has had her spay and dental last week Friday. Vet was, as usual, delighted with her behaviour, she is a dote! Someone will have a smashing quiet dog! Next step is to find her a brilliant home!

EGAR

I am ever so pleased to tell you that Leonie went to her new home today!!

Peeps in Cork can keep an eye out for her and her new owner Kay as well as her new canine companion, a handsome brindle boy!

jen_23

EGAR that story is just so touching.

It really is upsetting to know that there are people out there that have such a careless attitude towards living creatures. I really just cannot understand it. It is my belief that in these people something is just wrong... Something didn't quite develop in them as I refuse to believe that it is human nature to treat another living thing with such disregard.

The difference in Leonies eyes in the first and the second pics you posted. What an amazing thing you did for her.

You should be so proud of yourself for doing such a good thing.

And I certainly will be keeping an eye out for her (i'm a corkonian )

I'm so glad that this turned out to be a success story.

StopNotWorking

Well done man, she looks super compared to the first pics! Hope she is treated as well with her new owner as she was with you.

petangels

Dying to hear how Leonie's doing... did she get her fairytale ending?

You can rest assured that Leonie is in a 5 star home. My homechecker was impressed and I met Kay twice and really really like her. Leonie is in the best of hands .

EGAR

Update:






Nothing more to add, me thinks .

Awesome! Great to see she's doing well


She looks happy as larry

Orla K

She looks like such a sweet dog, good to see she's been well looked after now.

Also you can barely notice the other dog in the 2nd pic!

heno86

IvySlayer

I only wish there were more people like you in the world.

lrushe

Its great to see how far she's come, with so many sad animal stories out there it's good to see one with a happy ending. Well done!
