How lucky are we - what a little gem Woody is Exclamation

He has the head and coat of a JRT and the legs and body of a Dachshund - an incredible mix Laughing

He sat on the passenger seat with me today and after snuffling out every treat that was left lying around, including those in my pocket Rolling Eyes

he settled in and was lovely company on the journey.

He does look underfed and could do with putting on some weight and his coat could be better but we will get there Wink

He is going off to the vets tomorrow with Lynne so that he can have a thorough check over.

Not the best photo in the world but better than the one we have already -

Well strange one Woody was neutered about 3 weeks ago; about 2 weeks before he went into the pound! His frontlegs are a little strange but our vet checked them and said they were related to growth plate malfunction when he was a puppy. He is well adjusted so nothing to do. His coat is in poor condition; he needs a 'spar! He has broken teeth but not worth touching. His ears had crusting which I've managed to break off so they feel healthier now. I put my hand in and out of his food bowl to add more with not a flicker or a flinch..so haven't witnessed 'food possessiveness but he is hungry even that not over the top.

Incredible character, makes little noises and will bark on occassion but not excessive. ..in need of a loving, caring family

It's a molehole Woody!

I really thought he was entire Embarassed

Did the vet give a guesstimate on his age?

Hard to say his age; the crusting on the ears usually relates to extremes of temperature..life outside. He has had a hard life. At least 6-7 yrs old but he wasn't microchipped so no indicator there either.

Why would somebody pay out to have him neutered, and then let him stray and end up in the local dog pound? Does anyone have any information on how and why he came to be in the pound?

I wonder if he's been through rescue already, and got lost again?

Where ever this lovely boy has been, he has been trained - his kennel was very clean, one small corner used for toilet, he sat beautifully at the kitchen door, waiting to go out and did his business as soon as we hit the woods. On our return, he carefully placed his toy and chew in his bed before coming back to have his treat. All very neat and tidy Laughing

Do not read 'elderly' for 'dodery' though. He loved his walk and was very interested in everything Laughing

A little bundle of joy Laughing
