Marcus

Marcus is a very special little boy that came into the Pound both blind and almost completely deaf. From a health perspective and appearances Marcus has been a very neglected dog for a long time. He has deep cataracts in both eyes and will see Dr Mark Bilson at SASH for a consultation as we are hoping that he may be able to have surgery to regain some of his sight. Marcus also had dew claws, one of which had grown into the pad on his back leg. It was badly infected so has been removed and Marcus is now on a course of antibiotics to clear the infection but it would have caused him intolerable pain for a long, long time. Marcus is in foster care with a family and two other dogs and his foster carer was thrilled to watch him go outside in the garden for a sniff when he first arrived. When he had finished sniffing, Marcus climbed up three steps to come back into the house which was an amazing achievement for a little blind dog who has not been to the house before. He also gave a little wag of his tail! Marcus had something to eat and drink and then found himself a cosy spot in a bookcase in his foster carer's bedroom. She has since put a rug on the shelf for him to go to when he feels the need for a rest as he will have peace and quiet there. Marcus has captured a piece of everyone's heart who has come across him. He is so sweet and deserves to have a wonderful life with a family who will love and care for him. Marcus is not currently available for adoption.
