Blade is an 8 year boy from Nottingham who’s been through a bit of a rollercoaster in recent weeks, so let’s take you through his story.

He found his way to a kennels in Nottingham having been picked up as a stray and after he wasn’t picked up for a week the kennels contacted us to see if we would rehome him.

Following coming to us we noticed some battle wounds around his ears, some sores on his feet that appear to be cigarette burns and an enormous perineal hernia (which was being a right pain in the bum… excuse the pun).

This got even worse the week after and the vet advised it needed to be fixed ASAP! He had to stay in the vet an extra night but he found himself healing and in a foster home shortly after. His surgery cost 2,723 but, with the help of our wonderful supporters, you all managed to raise a whopping  £6,332 for his surgery and all aftercare and he’s now recuperating with his foster family now he’s had his stitches out, ready to find himself a permanent home… 

We wanted to share his story and some photos with you so you can see the work we do, and the impact you all have. Truly without you all this wouldn’t work. Thank you, from all of us here at rescue, and from Blade xx
