Yesterday Paddy's was involved in the rescue of four emaciated lurcher crosses from an address in Lancashire.

Three boys - Bruno (black, aged 4), Dexter (tan, aged 1) and Blaze (tan, aged 1) - and a girl called Bambi (black, aged 4).

The dogs have scars on them from fighting for food and Blaze passed a poo with plastic in, likely from eating anything he could to survive.

We are now following a strict feeding protocol to gradually increase their food intake in small and frequent portions that will increase to avoid fatal refeeding syndrome.

The dogs were petrified when rescued and Blaze was so scared he dived under a car and got his head jammed in the wheel area and we had to jack the car up to safely get him out.

Bruno, Dexter and Bambi have been placed in emergency boarding and rescuer Danni Lou has kindly taken responsibility for these three.

Blaze is under Paddy's care and is being fostered by our founder Claudia.

We would really appreciate donations towards rescue costs.

All dogs will be seen by a vet asap and may need treatment and there will be the standard costs of vaccinations, neutering, deworming, defleaing and microchipping.

And there is then emergency boarding for the three dogs at around £450 a week.

I'm sharing Paddy's GoFundMe page. Danni is also sharing fundraising posts and if Paddy's raises more than we need for Blaze we will transfer anything extra over to Danni for her costs.

If you're interested in fostering or adopting one of the dogs please fill in an application form on our Facebook bio.
