DIDDY UPDATE – SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED – A CLASSIC MAN & HIS DOG LOVE-STORY
9-year-old Kelpie x Dingo Diddy (now officially DJ), looked like he’d had a hard life. He was lucky enough however, that compassionate carers Trent and Ilona together with Byron Dog Rescue intervened. His life began to turn around; no more beatings, no cage, no chain – just for starters.
Then came the beach walks, the affection, the care – which included daily green-lipped-muscle supplements for his achy, rigid joints.
DJ’s composure, movement, relationship with humans and enjoyment of life has since progressed in leaps and bounds.
The day we introduced him to new best mate Luca, DJ wandered over to him in his oh-so-cool-dude fashion, where upon they fell on the sand together in embrace, and DJ planted a big kiss on Luca’s cheek – the deal was sealed 💘
Luca, who has had Kelpie’s his whole life, has subsequently learned some big lessons dealing with DJ’s Dingo call-to-the-wild side… but their bond and closeness is beautiful and secure.
The unwavering patience, continuing care, tenderness and love that Luca shows DJ has been a privilege to witness 😍
Profound gratitude to Trent and Ilona, and everyone else involved in DJ’s renaissance.
DIDDY ADOPTION
Diddy (nickname DJ) is an 8-year-10-month-old de-sexed male Kelpie x Retriever x Dingo.
Until he was rescued by kind folk Trent and Ilona, Diddy had endured a hard, traumatic life. Mostly chained or caged with his mate Bootsy (already happily re-homed), Diddy would frequently respond to his innate call for freedom and escape his owner. He always faithfully returned home, but unfortunately would receive a beating.
After months in care, Diddy no longer cowers in fear of humans and is “a gentleman and a philosopher until he hits the beach where he turns into a hilarious hooligan who does circle work around and around in joy”.
He loves kids and puts up with them dressing him in terrible outfits which demonstrates his gentle and tolerant nature. He’s house-trained and gets on well with other dogs.
Diddy has become “playful, adorable, a darling heart and is the bestest boy!” He is still prone to wandering off if not contained, but always returns home. He knows basic commands but is resistant to and scared of recall. He will however, happily follow his carers off the beach and jump straight into the car.
Due to some indications of mild arthritis, we have placed Diddy on a high-quality Chondroitin/Glucosamine/Green-Lipped-Mussel supplement.
Diddy is one cool, chilled dude who deserves a loving home with people who will adore him.
