Yesterday, I was speaking with the founder of a rescue-group in close affiliation with the one of which I am a member. It was they who rescued Neville; he was transferred to our group - and my home - afterward. I had not seen until then a photograph of how he looked just after he was rescued; Nevsky was found in a ditch, and barely able to stand. He’s come along rather well since then, I think.
Not often lost for words John..
ReplyDeleteBut! Well! Yes! God Bless the
little fella..! He's lovely!x
Nevsky, you've got the life of Reilly now, but I'm still gobsmacked at this 'before' image of you, poor boy.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned, too. I had no idea the poor guy was in such awful shape when he was found. And to just be left in a ditch...
DeleteIt is heartbreaking. No wonder we love that boy so much.
DeleteOh, dear God...I had no idea, either, that he was in such bad shape. Blessings to all who have had a hand in his rescue, and especially to you. Look at him now, so well cared for and safe, a handsome fellow, loved. ♥
ReplyDeleteI can't believe what Neville looked like before your rescue group started caring for him. I'm always shocked at the abuse some animals suffer. I've been working with animals for many years and it's something I can never get used to. God bless you and your rescue group for the care you've given him..
ReplyDeleteIt’s like seeing a neglected bud suddenly blossoming into a beautiful rose.
DeleteThat poor boy! I knew he looked rather the worse for wear after the mats had been cut from him, but never realised how bad he was when rescued. The transformation is amazing, and of course that is down to your loving care.
ReplyDeleteBless his sweet heart. It grieves me so much when they are forced to try to live in horrid conditions and no food to speak of. Thank goodness that he was found and brought to a good place and helped so wonderfully. My sincere thank you to all involved in his and any others rescues.
ReplyDeletePoor Neville! You and your rescue group were truly life savers. No wonder it’s taking time for him to trust.
ReplyDeleteLooking spiffy now Neville. It shows what a bit if good living and a safe home can do for a fellow.
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! I had no idea he was in that bad of shape when rescued! I'm glad he's safe at the cozy apt.
ReplyDeletePoor sweet guy, he fought hard to get to you.
ReplyDeleteOh my, my heart nearly broke seeing the photo of Neville then. Thank goodness he was rescued and placed in your home.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing the change in him, thank goodness. It is definitely
ReplyDeleteheart wrenching what us civilized humans do to animals. Actually,
sickening. But the ones that are rescued are so lucky and I believe
they know it.
