Title: Emaciated White Boxer
Post by: Rindaloo on October 01, 2012, 22:31:22 PM
Various people have seen this poor dog and commented on the state its in.  Today I saw him near mosque looking like he had lost the will to live.  Made enquiries and was told it belonged to the man in the internet cafe and that he didn't want it anymore and wasn't feeding it.  He has been offering it to anyone who asks about it, apparently.  When I went back, the dog was nowhere to be seen.  Can I ask that if anyone spots him, they take him to the rescue?  He might be ill, he might be starving.  But his life must change because by the look on his face today, he has had enough of his present existence.

Hi, last year myself and Pauline made some enquires about this white boxer as we where concerned about it being so thin.
We spoke to the man in the Internet cafe and said we where very worried about its condition, he informed us that the dog had gone several times to the vets and that there was nothing they could do to help.
He said no matter how much he feed it it would not put on weight as it had some type of wasting condition. He assured us that he loved the dog very much and was doing all he could.
We then gave him our details for animal aid and said that if we could help in anyway please ring us.
Well needless to say he didn't .
I hope this poor dog turns up some where and as always if animal aid can help please contact us as he might need special medical attention that the centre can't provide.
Good luck    Animal Aid.

Have taken the dog (with the owners consent) to Serkan (vet). Unfortunately the dog has leukaemia and is not mistreated. In fact the dog has been to the vets, there is evidence of this. So he is currently in the safest hands possible.

Oh that's really good to hear Jacqki.  I hope Serkan can make him feel more comfortable.  He looked so miserable when I last saw him.  Two Turkish people said he was unwanted and not being fed.....  Whatever the truth of it, I hope he can be made more comfortable.  Poor perisher.
