A scruffy boy with a shocking story

Hello! I’m Mackerel, a confident and friendly boy looking for a home.

It’s a miracle I lived to tell the tale of what happened to me. In an unspeakable act of cruelty, I was shot with a harpoon. The weapon pierced through the right side of my body, and I was left to helplessly stagger along the beach.

Fortunately, someone reached out to Soi Dog for help, and I was rushed to their shelter for emergency care. As well as reconstructive surgery, one of my kidneys had to be removed as it had been damaged by the harpoon.  

You might think such an experience would leave me traumatised and shy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m a happy and friendly boy, and I refuse to let the actions of one cruel person taint my love for all the other lovely people I meet every day.

The ordeal hasn’t hurt my love for adventure either. I love going for walks around the shelter, and I will paw at the gate of my enclosure in the hopes that someone will take me out. I even find the opportunity to explore within my enclosure – as you’ll see from the photo below with the bucket!  

If you can open your heart and home to a scruffball like me, it would mean so much. Please enquire below.
