Marvellous Makeover

Abandoned
dog scrubs up well and finds new family
Poor Matterson arrived at Dog’s Trust Leeds in March
from the local stray kennels. He was aptly named because
he looked like a walking mat; in fact it was difficult to
tell one end from the other! |
Amanda Sands, Manager of Dogs Trust Leeds explains:
“Matterson
had obviously suffered many years of neglect and his coat was in
such an appalling condition that it took two members of staff, a
vet nurse and a general anaesthetic to remove all the knots. However
despite feeling very uncomfortable he remained a very happy and
friendly boy.”
Several
hours after his miraculous makeover begun, an unusual looking but
very handsome boy emerged and his cheeky character began to shine
through. Following his amazing hair cut, Matterson caught the attention
of Derry Priestley who was visiting Dogs Trust with a friend. He
has now been at home with Derry for over a month and she has clearly
found her soul mate.
Derry
says:
“I
fell in love with Matterson immediately. He was odd looking but
adorable! He loves running through the fields when I take him out
for walks - he’s very popular and has made lots of doggy friends.
I can’t imagine not having him around now.”
