Eric and his brother Kenny were discarded by their hunter as though their lives had no value—not even worth the cost of a microchip or a worming tablet. But we know these boys are worth so much more. They deserve safety, kindness, and to be truly cherished. At just 11 months old, they arrived unsure of what the world still had in store for them. Slowly, they are beginning to trust, enjoying gentle walks on lead and warming up to the people around them.

Eric’s journey is a little more complicated. He has a lump on his chest that we are still awaiting a diagnosis for, and x-rays also revealed old pellet shots in his body. It is heartbreaking to imagine what he may have endured before arriving here. Despite everything, Eric remains gentle and deserving of a chance at a better life. We will do everything we can for this special boy. Please reach out for more information.

“Can you count how many times he’s been shot? Take a look at Erics X-Rays and count the pellets. This is a complete disgrace. They are so close to his lungs. On top of that the abcess on his chest was very difficult to remove because it’s intertwined with muscles around the chest area. Whilst the vets removed as much as they could, they had to opt for a biopsy also because some of the cells looked ugly. He’s only 11 mths old and this has been his life so far. The life with his Galguero a complete misery, then given up saying he was useless. Useless? Who do think is useless? Honestly these hunters are shameless. Eric is in the vets tonight with drains in his chest and will come back tomorrow. So angry but not surprised! Thanks for sending Eric lots of love.” — Tina
