Gilly Foreman hasn't added a story.
My name is Gilly Foreman; I have lived in Turkey for 20 years..and been involved with rescue for the last 10 or so. This is Korsan's story:
This sweet, rather needy German short haired Pointer boy was dumped in a rural village in Turkey around the 25th October 2016. He was totally lost....running around, up and down...looking bewildered and scared. He had almost certainly been owned and probably chained 24/7 as is the norm here....as it was evident he had no road sense from the way he was around traffic. Within a week he had lost most of his body weight, from being totally unable for find food and fend for himsel f on the streets. He had 3 bite marks from other already established street dogs...who were understandably being territorial about this usurper in their neighbourhood. The one on his head was really nasty...but he finally found a friendly face and soft voice with me....consequently starting to follow me up my road. I fed him a couple of times on the streets...then he had two huge boulders thrown at him by a woman in my street...the second one hitting him so hard he bolted off, screaming in pain. Next time I saw him, his leg was dangling..obviously broken at the lower joint. At this point, I caught him, got him to a vet, who plastered his leg. He has been deflead, dewormed, and had his vaccinations and been chipped. His leg is healing extremely well, and he may not even end up with a limp! I have named him Korsan, which is Turkish for Pirate. His plaster came off today, and he has a support bandage on now for another 10 days....at which time, unless we can help him by raising funds, he will have to go back on the streets.....Korsan needs a home offer...and he needs your help to get him to the UK....please.. ..
