Andy is our newest member arriving the end of September after the death of his owner. He had spent a period of being fed by a neighbour but left in his home. At 12 years old he arrived with a bad ear infection, eye inection and servere flea infestation. Now treated his is on the road to recovery and settling into life with us. One of our active seniors he enjoys longer walks but is also equally happy sitting on one of the sofas having human attention.

Beautiful Cheyene was living a bit wild, in the woods, with her owner and 5 other dogs, until her owner fell ill and couldn’t look after his dogs anymore.
She is over 13 years old (we’re not exactly sure of her age), but in relatively good shape! Very thin on arrival, she’s enjoying being fed several times a day and we’re hoping she’ll soon gain weight. She’s living with Colin, Primus and Mitch and already doing a great job keeping the boys in line!

Colin (TheCollie) arrived at Dawn & Dusk as a foster dog for Les Amis des Animaux, after months of wandering in our area.

It appears his owners died and Colin was abandoned or just wandered off and nobody cared enough to look for him. He was in a terrible state when he arrived, weighed only 12 kgs, had a bad skin infection and was very lethargic. He soon gained weight and turned out to be a very beautiful Collie, but he has a few serious health issues; deafness, severe hip dysplasia and a heart problem. Since he seemed to love life at D & D, and he will never be able to lead the active life a young-ish (he is estimated to be around 8 years old) Border Collie should have, we decided to adopt him so he can lead a quiet life with us. He is a lovely boy, gets along with everybody and is very popular with our volunteers!

Primus ended up in a refuge at 11 years old, after a crappy life with an owner that threatened to shoot him if the refuge wouldn’t take him!

Enough said about his past,..

Amazingly enough, dear old Primus still loves to be around people! He leans into you, and tries to be as close as possible while resting his beautiful head on your hand and looking at you with eyes that say Please Love Me,…and we do!! To meet him is to love him, instantly. He came to us very, very thin, but still full of life and we look forward to feeding him the very best food, seeing him flourish and return to the state he should have been in at this age; that of a well-fed, beautiful, cherished old boy! He has had a cancerous testicle removed, so we are hoping that that was the only problem he had and will be able to nurse him back to health quickly!
