A Little Bit of Neville Now and Then

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.

  2. Nevsky, you've got the life of Reilly now, but I'm still gobsmacked at this 'before' image of you, poor boy.

    1. I'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...

  3. Oh, 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. ♥

  4. I 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..

    1. It’s like seeing a neglected bud suddenly blossoming into a beautiful rose.

  5. That 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.

  6. Bless 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.

  7. Poor Neville! You and your rescue group were truly life savers. No wonder it’s taking time for him to trust.

  11. Oh my, my heart nearly broke seeing the photo of Neville then. Thank goodness he was rescued and placed in your home.

  12. It is amazing the change in him, thank goodness. It is definitely
    heart 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.
