Wilson - two to three year-old bulldog male

Wilson has a bit of a sad story to tell.

In his foster mum's words:

Wilson is about 2/3 yrs old. He came into Animal Helpline's care from a pound when his 7 days were up. Whilst in the pound he had shut down and hadn't eaten for 5 days.

No matter what they offered him to eat he refused. Hard to believe when he was being offered fresh steak that one of the kennel girls had bought for him.

He was just sleeping his life away, not attempting to come out of his bed often.

One of the pound helpers contacted us and asked if we could help as they were worried that he would either:

1) be PTS,

or,

2) they would go in one morning and find poor Wilson dead.

Animal Helpline couldn't say no to this plea and so he was taken in under their wing.

As the kennel environment was stressing this boy too much, a foster home took him in to give him tlc and food that he so needed.

When Wilson first arrived in his foster home he settled straightaway into a crate . He was looking a lot happier. He came alive, had a hearty lunch and is now slowly putting on those needed pounds.

He has been good with the other dogs in the foster home, males and females, but think he would be best with another calm female dog for company.

Wilson would also like a home without small children or visiting small children. When he gets excited he does mouth, so this is why no small children.

Someone that has experience with large breeds is also a must. Wilson has stated his vaccs and is now neutered.

Wilson is under the care of Animal Helpline Dog Rescue at http://www.homes4dogs.co.uk/

Thanks.

Poor Wilson - I do hope he finds his forever home soon - a puzzled look in his eyes. and oh those poor ribs in his first photo.

From his photos, it looks to me that he has a lot of Boxer in him?

You're doing a great job Keith.

Ahhh poor Wilson, sounds like he had almost given up, thank goodness for caring foster homes.

Hope he finds a loving forever home very soon.

What a difference a foster home makes.

What a difference! He looks so happy!

Well he looks a lot happier doesn't he. I hope he finds his forever home soon.

He sounds like a fantastic boy , would they accept Tommy in part exchange ??? Really hope this boy gets his forever home soon , 8 paws and 10 fingers crossed

What a difference a little bit of love and kindness makes, and what a grand job you are doing Keith.

Wilson is on foster with another member of this forum, who has very deep experience of bull breeds and mastiffs.
Can't think of a better foster home for him.

Still looking.
