Josh
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Josh has been a foster dog after being returned to our care in July 2022 with a history of unexplained and quite severe aggression. I asked Erik, one of our expert volunteers, who has recently become a provisional clinical animal behaviourist, to foster Josh to assess and work with his behaviour which he has successfully done until the 21st of May. However following an incident between Caesar (another of our foster dogs who’s mouth tumour is increasing possibly affecting his temperament) and Josh, I felt it best he came back to Daybreaks for not just Josh and Caesars sakes but for Erik and his family members. A dog will generally only react aggressively through pain or fear so we have had him investigated extensively. He showed signs of neurological deficit along with pain so following numerous trips and tests at Fivelands, Willows and other vets he was started on pain relief, and treated by a chiropractor. He has come a long way with veterinary support and the unwavering daily behavioural treatment and guidance put in by Erik and his family over the last 10 months. Initially Josh was incredibly unhappy on his return to Daybreaks but responded well to certain volunteers and then Hannah stepped in to offer him some respite. Hannah will update seperately but I want to thank everyone who donates to Daybreaks as this means financially we can proceed with extensive tests and treatments to be able to help not only Josh, but all greyhounds within our care. Heartfelt thanks to everyone X

Our gorgeous little Truf went out on Foster earlier in the week. She has been in the kennels so long...one of our Volunteers offered to give her a break from kennel life and took her home for a while. She is doing great and being such a good girl. :)) Xxx

Fox

Hi Lilly, Fox came with me to the Morrisons roadshow at the weekend. He was a super super good lad. He was the star of the day and well behaved. He wasn't moving around too much but was happy to walk around calmly and was happy to either stand their with a volunteer, sit down or lie down. Hope this info helps!
