Scruffy April 13, 2006
Posted by Diane in : Rehomed , trackback
The dog pictured in the accompanying photograph has been evading capture since November of last year. Aptly named ‘Scruffy', he is a Deerhound crossbreed and has been running wild in the Crumlin area feeding from bins and kindly neighbours until he was eventually hoodwinked into a secure garden on the 23rd of March 2006.
The proud dog warden at his side is Bernadette Burns. She has been trying to make friends with and tame this timid creature over the past months but nothing seemed to work until he was eventually cornered and the game was up. Although very nervous, he walked well on the lead and hopped obediently into Bernadette’s car.
‘Scruffy’ spent one night in Antrim Dog Pound before being brought reluctantly to the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary where he is currently housed. The Sanctuary staff had also been trying to catch ‘Scruffy’ and, as such, would like to extend their gratitude and praise to Bernadette Burns.
If you would be interested in offering ‘Scruffy’ a home and have a very secure fense or run please don’t hesitate to get in touch. He is approximately 4 years old and with patience and company would make a terrific pet.
UPDATE: We're happy to report Scruffy has found a home.
