Clementine
Old girl Clementine was in a sorry old state when she came into our centre in Aberdeenshire as a stray.
Daisy
Daisy was bred as part of the multi-million-pound puppy trade we’re tackling head on.
Ariel
Close to death, Ariel was saved. She was given the care she so desperately needed and was finally, released back under the sea.
Clementine
Old girl Clementine was in a sorry old state when she came into our centre in Aberdeenshire as a stray. Aged over 10 and carrying cat flu, she weighed just 2.1kg. Her fur was badly matted so we had to shave her, and this poor lady had inflamed her skin from trying to clean her fur.
We got Clementine back on her feet but we discovered she had hyperthyroidism, which causes weight loss and increased urination. After three months of love and care, Clementine’s weight had grown to 2.8kg and her coat was as good as new.
Clementine found the perfect home with a lovely couple who had previously owned a cat with the same condition. She’s now known as Ellie.
Daisy
Daisy, an English foxhound, was bred as part of the multi-million-pound puppy trade we’re tackling head on. She was advertised as a beagle online by puppy dealers. Sold to an unsuspecting family with false vaccination records and an unregistered microchip, the people who bred her did not care one bit about her welfare. When the family realised she was a foxhound, they had to make the heart-breaking decision to give her up as they couldn’t provide the space or stimulation the breed needs.
When Daisy arrived with us, she was 18 weeks old and already showing a lot of the behavioural issues we come across regularly with puppy-farmed dogs. Daisy hadn’t learned basic things like how to play safely, so our team set-up a tailored rehab programme to help her learn what was okay and what wasn’t.
Thankfully, she found her forever home and even has another foxhound named Max to snuggle up to and play with.
Ariel
Ariel, a harbour seal pup, was found in a weakened state after having almost been decapitated by fishing gear. She was believed to have been suffering for up to three weeks when she was rescued from a beach in Montrose by one of our Animal Rescue Officers. Ariel was rushed to our National Wildlife Rescue Centre to receive round the clock care. The team gave her their all – offering her extra feeding support, cleaning and dressing her wounds and administering antibiotics.
Our incredible team’s hard work meant that they were successful in saving young Ariel’s life and giving her a second chance. After three months, she was released back into the wild by the same people who rehabilitated her which provided a bittersweet moment for the team who cared for her for all those months.
Wildlife Assistant, Caitlin, who cared for Ariel said, “this is why we do the work we do and always go the extra mile. We put so much of ourselves into her recovery and watching her swim away, knowing she has a second chance makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
