Real Stories: Doggy makeovers help with rehoming
Tonight on Real Stories, we visit the animal shelter that’s giving its dogs makeovers to attract new owners.
We also meet two young dogs who nearly didn’t survive past their second year. Both Honey the cocker spaniel, and Zena the lurcher were abandoned with life-threatening conditions.
Honey, a puppy, swallowed a sock which became lodged in her stomach and intestines leaving her unable to eat, while Zena had a severe break in her back leg - possibly thought to be caused as a result of falling from a car. It was touch-and-go whether both would survive.
Fortunately, staff at Wood Green Animal Shelter, Cambridgeshire, were able to operate and save both dogs - although for Zena the lurcher the only option was to amputate her leg.
Nevertheless despite their early ordeals, things are now looking up for these beautiful pooches. Sadly however, their stories are all too common - as reporter Michael Underwood found out.
Below you can watch a teaser of what is to come in tonight’s episode:
