Stressed Jetson seeks second chance
Published 19 Jan 2012 13:30
A dog who is becoming so stressed in kennels that he keeps injuring his
tail is seeking a loving owner to give him a good home.
Staff at the Scottish SPCA's Ayrshire and South West Scotland Animal
Rescue and Rehoming Centre at Mainholm, Ayr, are desperate to find eight
year old lurcher Jetson a loving home before he causes himself any
further damage.
Assistant Centre Manager Lynda Hourston said, "Poor Jetson has been in
our care for three months now and he's becoming quite upset in the
kennel environment.
"He's an active lad with bags of energy who really wants to be playing,
walking and having fun with his owners like all pet dogs should.
"Instead he's finding life in here very difficult. He wags his tail like
mad whenever anyone comes near him and unfortunately he keeps bursting
the tip open so we are constantly bandaging his tail up to let it heal.
"We can't understand why no-one is showing any interest in Jetson
because he is one of the friendliest, happiest dogs you could ever meet.
"He's very well behaved, knows all his commands and is really receptive
to people and other dogs.
"We're looking for an active person to come forward and offer Jetson a
loving home.
"He really deserves a second chance and it's heartbreaking to see him
desperately seeking attention as people walk on by.
"We hope that Jetson's ideal owner is out there somewhere as we know he
would be so happy to find his forever home soon."
Anyone interested in offering Jetson a home can call the Scottish SPCA
Animal Helpline on 03000 999 999 and ask to be connected to the Ayrshire
Centre.
