Abandoned fox terrier for adoption
It was early in the morning. My owner took the leash out and I wagged my tail happily, excited that we are going for a walk. After walking for a while, owner tied me to an outdoor water pipe and walked away. I thought my owner was going to away to buy something and it wasn’t convenient to bring me along. So I waited there patiently. Minutes passed, then hours but my owner never came back for me. The sun was getting hotter and hotter. I was hot, tired, thirsty and hungry. There wasn’t any water and food for me.
I was hopeful that my owner will come back for me but she never did. The fear and panic starts to creep in. What did I do wrong? Why am I left here alone, tied to the water pipe, with no shade, water and food? I could not believe my owner can be so heartless to me.
A kind uncle walked passed and took pity on me. He gave me some water to drink and I lapped it up gratefully. He then left. After a while, he came back, untie me and brought me upstairs. I overheard him saying to this kind lady that he called daughter-in-law that he saw me tied there 8.30am till 1pm, under the sun with no food and water. I don’t know how human time works but it felt like an awfully long time.
They fed me some food, I was so hungry, I finished everything up. My rescuer commented that I am very friendly and sweet and has an extremely good temperament. I love wagging my tail and I get along with children and other dogs. I play well with her daughter and nieces. She was impressed that I didn’t bark back at her dog when her dog barked at me.
I heard them commenting that I am so skinny, my nails are so long and my limbs are covered with sores. You see, my owner didn’t take very good care of me. Despite that, I still love my owner very much.
They brought me to the vet and the vet said I’m malnourished but my health is ok. She said I’m probably about 6-8 years old. My gums are so bad, they can’t really estimate my age. I’m not sure how old am I, my owner didn’t celebrate birthdays with me.
I am very lucky that they managed to find me a foster home to stay in. However, my foster will be travelling soon by end of October and I’ll be without a home.
I am a female fox terrier. My foster calls me Tessa. Will you give me a home please? I am very gentle and I don’t bark. I love children and am easily contented.
