This is RUFFLE.
She was found by the lake, one of the local fishermen had spotted her on a very tiny "island", really little more than a rock.
He went over to get a closer look and saw she was just a pup, she was in very poor shape.
He brought her back to the village, and gave her food, but could not take her as she was very obviously suffering from mange, she was almost bald!!
When I first saw her it was impossible to tell really what colour her coat was as there was so little of it.
Even though it was a risk, I took her home, what could I do?
She was such a poor little scrap of a dog, She was so grateful, she would not stop licking my hands, as if to say "I know you will help me,"
I gave her food, vitamins and mange medicine. 15. days later she had another vaccine injection of it, and we waited.
Within a month she looked a different dog, her hair was growing, she was almost a normal weight and she had this whitish ruffle around her neck, hence her name.
But she still is prone to outbreaks of mange, so I keep a careful eye on her, and she is always a little underweight, of course if she had a very special diet very rich in all the things that would boost her weight, she would probably get plump.
Unfortunately I cant afford to give her that, I do my best and she is here with me living a happy life with all the others, but there is no doubt she would benefit greatly from a " special " friend, one that would provide all the little extra's that would make her life so comfortable.
So, if you would like to offer help to " RUFFLE " please e-mail me, and you will receive up-dates with pictures, and a report of her progress twice yearly. Just "click" the PAYPAL button to make your donation.
