Each canine arrived into Canine Belief affected by appalling matting of their fur, severely overgrown nails, dental illness and ear infections.
They have been described by the Veterinary and Behaviour groups as ‘absolutely terrified’ and tried to cover and keep away from human contact at any time when attainable. Regardless of being adopted to a loving dwelling, it took 4 months till their adopters might contact them.
Pam King, adopter of Mollie and Rudi explains: “We are so proud of these two fabulous dogs for the courage they have shown in adapting to our home after the horrors they’ve experienced. I have had dogs all my life, including 14 rescue dogs from a wide variety of backgrounds but I have never witnessed the fear that they demonstrated when we first adopted them.”
Veterinary and Welfare Supervisor, Canine Belief Eire, Niamh Curran Kelly continues: “It’s past upsetting and demoralising to see individuals who have inflicted a lifetime of distress on canine, obtain a slap on the wrist when prosecuted. It’s not solely the mum or dad canine that suffer, typically their puppies have a lifetime of behavioural points and in lots of instances veterinary circumstances arising from the cruelty concerned within the unhealthy breeding on pet farms.
“Pet farming is a life sentence; even in case you are fortunate sufficient to get a pet free from behavioural and well being points, please consider the mum left behind and what she should endure each day”.
