“She was found curled up, lifeless and tied to a goalpost in a park in Leeds. Because of her condition (the vet who she was taken to gave her a body condition score of one), the dog warden asked us to help her immediately, so of course we went to pick her up straight away.
“She is the kindest, most gentle, sweet girl. She is just four years old and has clearly had many pups in her short life, and has lots of scars too.
“She has gained over 5kg so far, her personality is starting to come through and she’s managing little plays with her toys… followed by long snoozes.
