Well, what can we say about Ian?First and foremost, he is the most affectionate dog on the block and LOVES his hugs. When you enter his pen he rushes up, throws his front legs round you and lays his head against you. This is your cue to hug him and stroke his head. He would let you do this for far longer than we have time for. This is why Ian needs a loving family of his own that has time to spend with him. We believe him to be a Setter X and as such his coat is the most beautiful gingery colour.

He was found dumped at the shelter gates. He showed all the signs of having Leishmania - scaly skin, crusty nose, eyes and ears. A blood test confirmed our thoughts. Leish is a lifelong but not necessarily life-shortening disease, which is treatable but not curable.  So long as they are correctly monitored and treated Leish dogs have as good a quality of life as a non-Leish dog. With the correct medication and food, he is gradually improving and in a few months time he will be a stunner.

Could you give Ian the love and affection that he craves? If you think you might like to adopt him, we will happily give you more information about Ian's health and answer any questions you have.
