The RSPCA is looking for a forever home for a cute sausage dog with one eye and no teeth - that was about to be put down by its owner. Whisky had been used as a breeding dog and suffered from multiple health issues when he was rescued.
A vet had the dog at their practice with an owner who wanted him put down - but animal welfare officials stepped in. Whisky has a detached retina, rotten teeth and his back legs are very weak - meaning he was walking on his knees.
He immediately saw a local vet and was put on pain relief which after a few days meant he was able to walk on his feet again. Since then he has gone from strength in a foster home but now he needs surgery and a family of his own.
The RSPC say he will need his eye removed, the majority of his teeth taken out. Once he's had these surgeries he will need a loving home to recover in and continue to rehabilitate him and his legs.
The RSPCA said: ''Whisky is one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs we've ever met. We can't believe that someone would want to end his life so quickly when he's got so many chances of a happy and healthy life.
''The super sweet sausage dog can fit into most homes, so could live with children and other pets, but sadly he cannot live with cats (we have tried this). If you have the time, patience and financial stability to support Whisky down the line if he needs spinal or rear leg support, then you're most welcome to apply to be considered for rehoming.''
