When he was just eight-weeks-old, Buckley was found alone in a Melbourne school yard bleeding and in terrible pain. His ears and tail had been cut off with a pair of scissors in a cruel attack. Buckley was rescued by The Lost Dogs’ Home where he was treated and cared for. The little pup has won hearts all over the world with his determination to survive his traumatic ordeal.
Whilst Buckley’s story sparked an outpour of public sympathy and disgust, there are many more dogs and cats like him who suffer abuse and neglect. The Lost Dogs’ Home rescues and cares for thousands of cruelly treated animals like Buckley every year. Your purchase of Little BuckleyTM will assist The Lost Dogs’ Home to fund vital work in caring for and rehoming these animals. For example, many neglected animals require costly veterinary surgery before they are put up for adoption. Some need extensive foster care before they are ready to face the world after abusive owners. Your purchase will help us rehabilitate these animals and give them a second chance at life.
From being the victim of one of the worst cases of animal cruelty ever seen at the Home, he transformed to become a companion pet with vibrant personality. Buckley is a symbol of true courage. This festive season, please purchase a Little Buckley toy and help The Lost Dogs’ Home care for animals in need.
