Kathy in Spain

This is the lovely Miss Kathy. Our sweet Kathy ended up in a killing station in Hellin, Spain – abandoned, alone and scared. We were told about her by several volunteers in Spain. And well, we said YES – save this little poppit. Well, she was pulled from that hell hole – and went into foster with Mary Morgan.

Well, you would think that would be the end of her troubles – but no, sadly she had pyometra (womb infection) – and needed emergency surgery. The poor girl was thin, malnourished and had to go through surgery. We almost lost her – but these are tough little dogs and she knew that the future had something good in store for her – so she made it. She stayed with her wonderful foster family and they have done a wonderful job with her.

She came to the UK – and is in foster in London. And this is what the foster says:

Kathy is estimated at 8 years old – but we do not think so. She is energetic, fun and loves life. She definitely has the spring in her step of a younger dog. Kathy is a happy little dog ….the past is the past and the future is bright and she knows it. She loves going for walks, she loves meeting people (all people!) – she greets you like you have never been greeted – she wakes you up by jumping on you and giving you a million kisses. She is loyal, and follows you everywhere. She is a quick learner and has mastered new commands with ease (and cheese !)

She travels well in the car, can be left for short periods, she walks well on lead (unless there is something furry or feathery – then she is all terrier and wants to hunt!). She is fine with dogs and people – she does sometimes bark at dogs when on lead – this is to get their attention – she just wants to meet them.

She could live with another dog (male) or on her own – she just wants love and to give it back. She steals socks and slippers and hides them in her basket – and she has also been known to take a fleece jacket into the garden – she is a real gem and will be your best friend.

Due to the surgery – she has been left with incontinence issues – she is currently on medication (Propaline) and it has helped her. She still has little leaks – generally when she sleeps or if she is very excited. Just a little leak – but we are hoping that with time this will go away too. It is only a small amount – how many of us have coughed or sneezed and had a little accident? Please don’t overlook Kathy for this little problem – it is not her fault
