About Me:

Hi I'm Brew!

I am the latest recipient of WAG's Critical Care Program, a fund 100% supported by community donors to help injured and sick animals in need. I arrived at WAG after being attacked by a group of dogs so I was rushed to the vets and spent several hours having tests, being cleaned up, stitched up and fitted with a drain. The worst of it is my front right leg, my muscles were ripped and I was knuckling alot, with no option to amputate due to my large size. I was in a lot of pain, so was given a cocktail of antibiotics and painkillers and came back to WAG for a big well deserved sleep. Even though I was seriously injured, I welcomed pats and cuddles and will greet every new human I meet with a big waggy tail!

It has been nearly a week since my ordeal and I am already feeling so much better. I am up and about, going on short walks and standing flat on my foot instead of knuckling.

I love naps and cuddles, and my energy levels are increasing so I am enjoying walks and fun times outside. So much that sometimes the hardest part is getting me to come inside and rest up! I am wearing a cone to stop me itching my scabs, but that is all part of the process.

I am the sweetest boy, I seek affection and want to be near my human carers all the time. They have been making sure I feel comfortable when I see other dogs around, as I may be weary after the attack, but I am pretty happy go lucky and am a strong, brave boy.

I am looking for a home that will keep me safe and love me forever. I am healing every day but am having a checkup this week to remove my stitches and make sure I am on track. Please keep an eye on my profile for further updates.

My Story:

After being attacked by a group of dogs resulting in life threatening injuries; a concerned community member reached out to WAG to enable me to access the medical help I so urgently needed.
