ZAPP is our special dog of the month, he is a beautiful Brown & White Collie and he is aged 4 years.
He has a lovely temperament, loves children and gets on great with all dogs and is also cat friendly.
He has perfect manners and is great on the lead, this dog is a perfect gentleman and is also very clean in his Kennel..
He will be Neutered, Vaccinated and Microchipped before he goes to his new home.
ZAPP'S STORY!
ZAPP is a very brave dog, he has been in pain for most of his life with his ears, when he came into us he had a very bad ear condition called "Aural Hematoma" so he had to have an immediate operation to clean and relieve the pressure in both ears and have drains inserted into one of them and our Vet Marta is going to perform more surgery on him in the coming weeks on both ears, this means that he will have part of his ear canals removed and this problem will be resolved and he will also have a small hole under each ear, but this operation means immediate relief and no more drops in his ears and he will still be able to hear.
This is the worst that out vet has ever seen!
His surgery will be expensive enough but we feel it will be worth while as his nature is so good, he was in great pain which has eased a bit and he is on strong Antibiotics and also gets drops into his ears twice a day to clear up the present infection to get him ready for his major surgery.
And the reason that we named him ZAPP is after the man that came up with the operation for this condition.
We are looking for a very special family to adopt ZAPP who will not be ready for homing for a few weeks but if you are interested in adopting him please contact us and we can organise a home check and you can come to meet him.
ZAPP is a real People doggie!
