A ‘little princess’ poodle named Llammy was on a rough road to recovery after losing a leg, but the pup has since found their forever home after rounds of 24 hour care and several operations
A three-legged poodle was transformed into a “little princess” thanks to an incredible operation and remarkable recovery.
Llammy the one-year-old pooch had arrived looking “more like a lamb” with rescuers at an animal charity bringing the dog into their care. Blue Cross rehoming centre in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, nursed the dog back to health through a series of operations including a tragic amputation for the animal. A necessary front leg amputation was followed by a long journey to recovery. Llammy was cared for by the team at the rehabilitation centre before they began finding her a new home, where she is now receiving princess-like treatment.
Caroline Oram, animal welfare assistant at Bromsgrove Blue Cross, said: “She was a superstar and we knew time in foster with one of our team would help her on her journey and for us to build up her confidence so we could find her the loving new home she so desperately needed. Time in a home with our animal welfare assistant Amy who fostered her saw her quickly regain her confidence and she took it all in her stride.
“She was such a loving girl and loved nothing more than snuggling close to Amy getting all the TLC she needed to recover. She didn’t let having three legs stop her and it was clear that she was a cheeky girl wanting to enjoy her life, bounding around playing with her toys.” The once scraggy-looking dog has found a loving new home, with the 24-hour care Llammy was under continuing until Blue Cross workers were sure she was ready to head to her “forever home”.
