Are you the perfect match for a loving three-legged lurcher called Fern? ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Fern is a wonderful dog who is seven years old and is currently being cared for at RSPCA Newport Animal Centre. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Sadly, she recently had one of her front legs amputated after she became injured in a road traffic collision – but is coping extremely well without it. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Kennel and cattery supervisor Samantha Richmond said: “Fern is such a lovely girl. We are looking for a quiet home for her and she would be able to live with sensible older children. She is good with other dogs too. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“Fern came into the RSPCA Merthyr Tydfil Clinic with a leg injury and sadly on veterinary advice her leg was removed. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“But she is coping wonderfully and she had her stitches out the other day. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“She is still recovering however, and every now and again she will let out a little cry, bless her. But she is walking about just fine and loves spending her time down in our paddock area. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“She is a lovely little dog and we know there is a perfect person out there who will be able to give her a loving forever home.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
