Earl

Getting to know you
 

Earl’s journey so far may be quiet, but he shouldn’t be overlooked.

In spring this year, Earl came in from the dog warden, skinny with lots of old wounds, new sores and scabs, and alopecic areas. His tail tip had been taken off somehow. 

It was a team effort to bring him to where he is today.

Our vets prescribed some soothing cream to help with his initial healing, and later some coat and skin treatment to make his coat shine.

As he came in just under 22kg, he had a careful diet plan to bring him up to a healthy weight over the next 2 months.

Earl remained anxious on site and didn’t settle in as most dogs do, so we started him on some medication to help. He’ll be able to come off this once adopted. 

Making progress

He is a sweet, polite dog who trusts his friends, so our amazing volunteers began to spend time with him to become part of his friendship group. They documented their progress:

LATE SUMMER Gardener’s companion 

Looking for a quiet home

It is safe to say that Earl is not an explorer, he really would prefer a potter in a garden over walks, and he loves to curl up next to you on the sofa or settle down on the floor. He would make a great working-from-home companion.

He likes having toys, but he takes them all to his bed and plays there as he has never learnt how to play with a person. 

Earl just likes to keep to himself and be with his family, and is looking for someone to help him feel secure and happy.
