Aww, unfortunately they don't treat their animals very well, like leaving horses tethered without water, Nice head shot Alison, i hope in these tough times he finds a good home, i'd hate to see him go to the RSPCA and be put down on the grounds of numbers taken in, i must stress that the Dogs Trust (formerly NCDL National Canine Defence League WONT put a dog down. my mum is/was involved once with them.
Youre quite right Graham, they dont treat their animals well although in fairness this lad isnt in bad nick at all apart from being flea-ridden and full of worms (and those issues have been addressed now).
Hes definitely not going to be put to sleep, dont worry! Ive been doing voluntary work for some years now with local dog rescue organisations and you wouldnt believe how many safety nets are in place for Lil Rupert. Hes 110% safe, I promise.
Nice shot and best of luck with rehoming.
Funny how he looks like the compare meerkat - simplez
Now you mention it, I can see the similarity

Dont watch tele but have seen the ads in the press.
I suspect that hell find a new home very quickly. If all else fails, well let's just say that I might foster him for a while
nice shot and a touching story.
Thanks Mr Barnes I cant pretend that it was the most pleasant night Ive ever spent but the boy is safe now, in a warm dry place with plenty to eat and lots of love which is all that matters.
p.s. Did you kill JR? I stopped watching TV some years ago and always wondered. Closure on this issue would be much appreciated
Good on yer Alison,

He's a real beauty, What part of Leicestershire was this ?
Regards Toonie
Just off the A46, about 200 yards from the karting place on the road to Upper Broughton. Whereabouts in Leics are you Toonie?
He's lovely

Swoon!
Got a whippet myself and they are fab dogs. Full of love (and usually anything they can get their paws on!)
Im owned by a whippety type too Ali and arent they the most wonderful companions? So self-possessed yet at the same time incredibly loyal.
I find sighthounds, lurchers and longdogs very attractive in every way but have to say that this lad is just
well
..swoon, as you say
![Love :love: :love:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Seriously pretty and his gait is so dainty too; a joy to see in action. Happy to pose for the camera despite everything hes endured, I think hed be the perfect muse for a dog-loving tog. Details available upon request
Lovely Saluki type. Can I ask if you have checked he wasnt stolen, the Pikeys like to do that!!
was about to post the same thing!
might be a good idea to post a found ad on
www.doglost.co.uk just incase
Good call Dawn and Robyn, thank you for the heads-up on that

Ive contacted DogLost and his details are on their website now in the dogs found section. My monitor is small and the photo (same one as posted in this thread) appears a bit peculiar and squished for some reason. Does it look distorted on yours? :shrug:
good job Alison Absolutely beautiful dog
Indeed, as previously said fantastic job for rescuing him and great shot!
Thanks Dod, Graeme dubnut (and everyone else) for the encouraging comments but I really think I couldve done better. I can see so many faults. Heigh ho, a good excuse to keep visiting

My boss is very hard in terms of business but soft where animals are concerned. Hell not only sponsor this dog but allow me time off with full pay to visit and take photos. Sweet
Good point he could be microchipped, the vet can scan & see
The vet, dog warden and kennels have all scanned him and he definitely isnt chipped. A very good point though.
Id urge every pet owner to have their furry friend micro-chipped. Its inexpensive (free in certain circumstances, at least for dogs) and could potentially save a great deal of heartbreak, maybe even your pets life. Not sure about anything smaller but I know that rabbits and ferrets can be chipped.
