SPECIAL CHRISTMAS GREYHOUND AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND NEW FOREVER HOME

Monday night Christina Newsome of Triangle Greyhound Society and I rescued Cricket from an awful environment, the details of which are better left unsaid. Fortunately for Cricket, Christina acted swiftly and decisively and a terribly undernourished Cricket is now being fostered at my home here in Fuquay-Varina with my other four greys. Cricket’s nails were so long she hobbled with a limp and had extreme difficulty standing and had to be carried in and out of the minivan.

The first thing this morning Cricket and I went to Town and Country Vets in Apex. Dr. Ashford and the staff took immediate and caring action. Now after getting her nails cut back dramatically, a thorough examination and a medicated bath, a CBC panel, and a full series of shots, I witnessed a complete transformation in Cricket. Her eyes are bright, the limp is gone and she greeted me with a wagging tail.

Her only remaining challenge is her weight. Her last vet exam was back in June 2003 and her weight then was 69 lbs. Christina and I both feel her proper weight should be between 62 – 65 lbs. This morning Cricket weighed 52 lbs. She is now getting fed a normal diet on an accelerated basis.

Cricket we believe is 12 years old and cat friendly, a beautiful reddish fawn sweetheart who needs to find her last forever home, please contact Christina or me and perhaps give Cricket her best Christmas ever.

Oh sweet Cricket!! Thank you Christine and Dan for helping her!!

It is probably a little early to get a feel for her personality but do we know how she is with other dogs?
