This is Zeddybitz, a Boxer Pointer cross.. Hence the name
Zed is a rescue.
He was rescued by the wonderful City Rangers in Queanbeyan NSW. They have a no kill policy and work very closely with NSW and ACT animal rescue organisations.
When Zeddybitz was rescued, he weighed 11 kg.... Had spent his life chained up on a concrete floor with just a sheet of tin for shelter.
He had been beaten and mistreated so badly he would literally shit himself and try and run away if you so much as raised your voice.
My good friends Alexis and Drew of Belconnen Discount Pets took him in and nursed him back to health.
I was working part time for them when I first met Zeddy. He had just been picked up from the Vet after his neutering and a small op on one of his eyelids (he had an ingrowing eyelash)
The big boof had the cone of shame on and he looked up at me with those big sad eyes and I just knew I had to give him the life he deserved.
Anyhoo, a few months later after he was up to a more healthy 16kg it was decided that I would have him for the day to see if he and Saffy the Staffy would get along. They did.
Zed spent the day playing and sleeping on the lounge (something he wasnt allowed to do at Lex and Drews)
Next day, (after I got a roasting because the first thing he did when he got back to Lex and Drews place was to get up on the rather expensive leather lounge) Lex rang me and asked if I would foster him as there was another dog that needed rescue.
Needless to say I said yes, and also said you wont be getting him back
Turns out that was Lexies MO.... She does that to heaps of the foster carers....
And now, 9 years later, you would never know how terrible a start in life he had.
Everyone who meets Zeddybitz immediately falls in love with him.... Even non dog people cannot resist those big eyes...
