It’s been busy weekend behind the scenes, Ethel was the third hound to join us, and not the last (more on them later!)
As with all hounds, Ethel is under assessment and is not currently looking for her forever home, so please no enquiries as they will not be responded to at this time
Ethel is 6 years old and has been through quite a bit in her life. Sadly due to her family’s own health they made the heart breaking decision that Ethel comes to us to find a new family. We know this was a very difficult decision, but the right decision for all.
In 2024 Ethel suffered a ruptured disc in her back which she underwent emergency surgery for and thankfully made a full recovery as you can see from the videos below. Ethel is very mobile and has a tail that just doesn’t stop wagging!
Ethel has poop accidents in the home, and has done all her life; possibly this is something to do with her back, possibly something else or just her thing.
Of course due to her back Ethel is not allowed to climb stairs or onto furniture; we have a wonderful foster dad who is happy to share a dog bed on the floor and is on one level so Ethel will always be involved and have company which she deserves.
Ethel has the most wonderful happy nature, everyone she’s met today has been greeted with a very waggy tail and cuddles.
Ethel’s face structure is a little different, she has her own unique way of drinking water, and nothing seems to cause her issues. As her original mum says “she’s truly a gorgeous soul” and everyone who has met her so far today would attest to that.
Ethel doesn’t need a wish list at the moment, but if you’d like to donate to her care you can do so using the link below, or via Paypal or the bank. Ethel will be going for her vet check in the coming days.
