Border Collie Ritchie gets a new chance at life - kind hearted dog lover pays for his operation and gives him a new home Ritchie came in to us as a stray, very thin and bedraggled and we quickly noticed that he had a large lump on his side.    The vet said that it was a growth and had to be removed or it might increase in size and spread.   The prognosis was good - Ritchie would make a full recovery if he had the surgery.   That was good news and this good natured dog soon began to put on weight and look better - the bad news was that with other vet bills to pay and more dogs than ever being dumped, we couldn't afford to pay for the operation he so desperately needed.

Ritchie is one of the best dogs we've ever come across, he's a real pal, very intelligent, well behaved and cheerful despite his problems.   Ritchie wasn't in any pain and whilst we were saving for the cost of the operation, we decided to put his details in our adoption gallery just in case there was anyone out there who would take him on, complete with vet bills.

A wonderful lady called Margaret, who has had a dog from us before, read his story and straight away came to meet Ritchie. The liking was mutual and this kind hearted dog lover has given him a new home and a new start.Ritchie is booked in for his operation next week and will be sure of lots of t.l.c. during his recovery.  We'll keep you posted.  Save
