KARA – came into rescue through no fault of her own. She had lived her life happily with her owner in an old person’s care home, but when this was sold the new owners had a “no dog’s allowed” policy so Kara found herself homeless. Her owner suffered with dementia so was not really aware that Kara had gone as the staff at the home generally looked after her. We found a home for Kara virtually straight away local to where she had always lived, with a couple who already had an elderly, entire, tri-colour boy called Claude.
Kara moved in and settled well. We were told that she was spayed … well, a fortnight after re-homing Kara had a season … as you can imagine all hell broke loose and Claude suddenly became young again !! Of course, they had to be separated and quick.
We tried putting Claude into temporary foster care but he did not settle at all so for his own health he had to come home.
Fortunately, a local kennels took Kara for the three weeks necessary and her owners visited her regularly. She was fine and arrived back home three weeks later to everyone’s delight. As soon as it was possible Kara was spayed and while she was under anaesthetic had her teeth cleaned, recovered well and is now enjoying her life.
She is a “young at heart” 10 year old and enjoys nothing more than a game of football in the park. Sadly a few months later Claude had to be put to sleep so Kara became an only dog, but not for long ….. as along came Jazz……..see below……..

SADLY KARA IS NOW AT RAINBOW BRIDGE …
RIP SWEETHEART
