Transformation Tuesday!! - Freddie - Before and After!!

by Jordan Connor

This new weekly feature will hopefully highlight one of our beautiful dogs and the journey they have been on since their arrival at the Fetcher Dog Rescue Centre.

Dogs come to us in various states of neglect but none have shocked and saddened us like our newest arrival, Freddie.

Under that mountain of dirt and dreadlocks is an old spaniel.

Panic and fear overwhelmed Freddie when he first arrived with us and he tried to bolt at any chance he got; tripping over his own dreadlocks as he tried to flee.

Unfortunately, he desperately needed shaving so we couldn’t give him much of a chance to settle in before myself and Stephanie, armed with scissors, a bag of cheese and clippers got to work.

Despite how uncomfortable he must have been, he mostly stayed still and let us shave the majority of his body.

The dreadlocks around his bum were the worst, rock hard from years of poo and hair matting together, it was extremely difficult to tell his tail apart from the dreadlocks so we had to pull the dreads apart by hand to make sure we weren’t going to cut into his skin.

The same goes for the hair on his ears.

We spent about two and a half hours cutting his hair before calling it a night and arranging for our friend Sam from @tailblazersmobilegrooming to finish the job off in the morning.

Sam did a fantastic job and our boy looks like a completely different dog.

 

 

It was important for him to be groomed as soon as possible so that we could get him to the vets for a health check; the first he would have had in a number of years.

We found a few lumps under his hair that will be removed at the vets next week, they will then be sent off for analysis and we are hoping they are just ‘old boy lumps’.

He also needs his teeth cleaning as he has a big build up of plaque and we have to keep on eye on him for signs of a bug as he had a very high temperature.

Unfortunately for Freddie, I’m not allowed to bribe him with cheese anymore as he also needs to lose a little bit of weight.

For the first few days of his stay with us, I cried every time I saw him at the thought of what he had been through. It is clear to us that Freddie has lived an extremely sheltered life. He acts as though every noise and sight is new and nowhere but his bed is safe. He is confused and overwhelmed by everything and never really relaxes.
He eats and drinks when no one is watching and is most active overnight when we are asleep and the house is quiet. It took several days for him to realise that he was meant to pee and poo outside, he had most likely not been let outside previously and was messing inside his home.
Loud noises startle him and he has attached himself to one member of the team and he tries to bolt at the sight of anyone else. He is very shut down and despite being here for over a week, he still hasn’t wagged his tail.

Freddie has been through so much and even though he looks a lot better on the outside, we still have a long way to go to make him comfortable. We will keep you updated on his progress.

Once again, thank you to everyone who supports us and donates to help our dogs.

We couldn’t help dogs like Freddie without that support.

  • The importance of acting quickly and seeking help from the right people is never to be overlooked, as this saved me from losing $190K of my hard-earned money after I fell victim to a crypto investment scam.
    I was able to recover my crypto funds because I acted quickly and sought help from people and the internet. I was directed to Morphohack Cyber Service by my friend and I went online quickly to research Morphohack Cyber Service and found several reviews about them and their successes in the recovery of crypto. I was very eager to see what they could do about my case, and they didn’t disappoint me as Morphohack Cyber Service was able to recover my crypto successfully. I was truly pleased by their response and efforts, it was very refreshing to see that there are amazing people like them out there who care about this and do all they can to help you recover your crypto. I’ve put their contact information below this post.

  • Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Lord Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Lord Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the game, and this was all made possible by Lord Meduza. Kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity, you can contact him via

  • I truly believe in the effectiveness of spells, and I want to share how Psychic Priest Ray helped me during a very challenging time in my marriage. My husband and I were facing serious misunderstandings that nearly led to divorce. In my moments of despair, I found myself crying and searching for love quotes online when I stumbled upon glowing reviews of Priest Ray’s work. Feeling hopeful, I contacted him and shared my situation. He confidently told me that my husband would return within 24 hours. I followed his advice, and to my absolute surprise, my husband came back the very next day, sincerely asking for my forgiveness and wanting to rebuild our relationship. If you’re going through similar struggles in your marriage, I encourage you to reach out to him. He truly can make a difference!
