Its been a little while since we let you know how Hope (the Cocker Spaniel found pregnant and in an appalling state at the side of the road) is doing. Hope is still caring for her daughter Faith, but once she has found her forever home and Hope has had a few weeks to rest we are going to start addressing the worrying issues that poor Hope will need to face. Our first challenge is going to be her mammary tumours before we look at surgery we will have further investigations on the lumps, if they are of the kind that we all dread, Hope will stay with Pip for the rest of her life being spoilt rotten. If they are surgically treatable we will spay her and remove them giving her every chance, we then have several options for her leg but the long term plan of action will depend on the outcome of her tests. It goes without saying we are all on tenterhooks for the outcome of these tests, she is such a sweet girl who has had such a hard time producing many litters of pups and if ever there was a little dog who deserves a happy life she is one. We will keep you all posted when we have news and thank you all for your messages of support and kind donations that will enable us to give her every opportunity available.

We have had our best year ever in 2011 with our Sponsor Dogs and we have had 62 new sponsors which has raised over £1,000 pounds for the Charity. Pip wanted to send her thank you, not only to the kind people that sponsored a dog but also to Kerry who volunteers to look after this for us, Kerry thank so so much for posting out the packs and cards and working very hard especially leading up to Christmas.
Unfortunately not all of our rescue dogs are successfully rehomed, some arriving after suffering unimaginable cruelty and circumstances. These dogs stay with us at EGLR and become long term fosters. By sponsoring one (or more)of our dogs, you will help us to make sure that these dogs receive everything that they require for a much deserving happy life.
Thank you x |

Hope is one of Pip's special's, a dog she could not possibly pass by and this is her story, poor Hope is a Cocker Spaniel and was found in a appalling state at the side of a road. An initial examination by the dog warden revealed that under all of the matted dreadlocks she was completely missing her back foot and wrist. After she was rushed to the vets for a more in-depth investigation it was discovered that the stump was severely ulcerated and was definitely an old injury. Hope was obviously in a state of shock and was very frightened and shaking, Pip could not put into words how horrific the injury looked, but then after 4 baths and a complete clip out of her coat it was clear to all that she was heavily pregnant, a ultrasound revealed that she had only 2-3 weeks to go before giving birth.
WE SHOULD WARN YOU THAT THE FOLLOWING PICTURES OF HOPE ARE QUITE GRAPHIC.
