Story
Hi, My name is Tina,
I would like to tell you my story to see if you could help me.
I am a Cairn/Yorkshire terrier and I am blind with cataracts.
I think I am 9 years old but I don't know as I've never had a birthday.
This was how I used to look
Unfortunately, I didn't get a very good start in life as I was badly neglected, being kept in a rusty dirty cage all day long.
As time passed I started to waste away and get very weak, I was incredibly smelly and all my hair grew long and matted. My skin was weeping through constant scratching and my eyes started to get sore. I wasn't able to see much as the days went on, then one day I couldn't see anything at all. I was terrified , sad and very lonely, not being able to understand what was happening to me.
Just as I was about to give up, miraculously my prayers were answered and I was rescued along with some other dogs and gradually nursed back to health by some amazing people, for this I will always be thankful. I was still nervous, anxious and extremely scared but I felt that it was different and these people were looking after me. All I really wanted was a forever loving home of my own.
One day a woman came to see me and took me home; I was given lots of cuddles and love. She had a nice garden for me to play in and explore also some funny squeaky toys to play with. Overtime I started to trust this lady, I have a warm snuggly bed, lovely food and treats everyday, we go for nice calm walks and I even have a friendly brother to play with in the garden. I am starting to, at last, feel happy and not scared anymore, I trust this lady and love snuggling up on the bed at night. Thankfully, I have found my forever loving home. This is how I look now
