The Gozo SPCA in Victoria are helping their good friends at Noahs Ark in Malta find a home for this lovely Kelb tal-Fenek.
He is called Lukan and was recently rescued in a very poor condition by the Noahs Ark volunteers.
Noahs Ark said that he has been through so much in his life – beaten and abused and when he arrived at the sanctuary he was nothing more than a skeleton. He weighed only14.5kg – he’s now up to 20.5kg, but probably should be 22-24kg. “It seems unbelievable that he’s added 6kg, as he’s still so skinny and it has taken many, many weeks of special care to help get the weight on to this handsome dog.”
The Kelb tal-Fenek is the national dog of Malta and as the volunteers said “it is so sad to see one treated like this in its own country.” Lukan really needs to go to someone who knows the breed. “A more loving and gentle dog you will never meet and he is very obedient off the lead.”
Lukan is already neutered and microchipped.
For further information please contatct Noahs Ark on 79730900, or by email to Gozo SPCA on info@spca-gozo.org.
The Kelb tal-Fenek is a breed that is likely to be skinny as it is one of its phisical characteristics, although 14.5kg is far the underweight for a normal dog of its breed and probably 25kg is best for a 25 inch dog (trying to gues his height from the picture). Overweight might as in any breed be a detriment for a dog, especially the Kelb tal-Fenek will not erect properly his ears.
