More about Forest
1 year old Forest is best suited to live with children 16+.
Back in early December we received a call about a stray dog. We had no idea about what condition the dog would be in and it was heartbreaking to see a dog in such an awful state. Poor Forest was shut down and very underweight. (see his before photos). The bone on his tail was exposed and it was extremely sore. It took time for little Forest to settle in as he was so nervous but over time we could see a sparkle in his eye.
He was looked after so well by a whole team of people who care so much about animals and over the last few months Forest has turned into a wonderful loving dog. He had to have surgery to remove part of his tail but there’s still a little one that he can wag!
He adores being with people and never misses out on the opportunity to give you a cuddle. He spent time in a foster home over the Christmas and they said he was a couch potato and just as we suspected a cuddle monster. At only a year old Forest has gone through a lot in life and we hope there is someone out there who will show him that life can be and will be full of love and cuddles.
