    A pup-date from Rascal

    At only five-weeks-old, two tiny terrier brothers, Rascal and Toby were dumped in a box and left for dead.  They were rushed to the safety of Mayhew to receive the urgent care they needed.

    Sadly, even with veterinary treatment , Toby didn’t make it (you can read the story of the dumped puppies here). Our vet team continued to fight for Rascal’s life and after ten days of intensive care he was able to leave the isolation unit.

    Thankfully Rascal made a full recovery and our adoption team soon found him a new home with a loving family, who have renamed him Kevin.

    Look at him now!

    Kevin has settled into his new home well, and doesn’t even chase the cats!

    His owner Gina says “He’s very good, extremely bright and sociable. He’s loved learning tricks like giving paw with my daughter Maisy which he got to show off at Mayhew’s Open Day! He’s a real joy.”Rascal the terrier puppy from Mayhew
