10/19/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Little Furby, an senior Terrier, is in dear need of TLC. He must have been quite a pretty dog in his prime and there is no reason that in loving and caring hands, he can not retrieve some of his past beauty. Furby lets me pick him up without objecting. He is featherlike. His coat is not at its best for now, his skin is somewhat irritated and itchy, his huge button eyes and his ears have some sort of infection. It goes without saying that our veterinary team is taking care of all those issues, and hopefully, some much needed health will be restored. Furby does twirl at times when he walks on the leash. I imagine that his ear and eye infection are part of the problem. After a while, and a little chicken meal, he relaxes on my lap. Furby loves food…as well as having his coat scratched. He is very sweet and appreciates the attention brought to him. Furry needs you. A visit to the veterinarian, a cushy pillow, nutritious meals and the love of a human or family is the recipe for success, and bringing back this little guy to where he should be as a beloved pet. Furby is at the Manhattan Care Center. A volunteer adds: I was happily surprised yesterday to see that Furby had improved with the veterinary care he is getting at the care center. His skin looked much less raw, his eyes were clear of discharge, even his ears looked better and his appetite was excellent. He walked almost in one straight line…although I thought he lived completely in another world, he came at times to me when I called him and wagged his tail. Maybe then, in a good home, Furby really could thrive and be happy. I am more hopeful now. So, let’s find him his angel. Furby so deserves it.
