Arthur
It is with tremendous sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Arthur.
We rescued Arthur 2.5 years ago after he was ruthlessly hacked by someone. He was seen wandering around with a huge gash in his side.
People in the area who fed him said he once had an owner who died, and then Arthur was left to fend for himself. You can read more about Arthur on his profile page here.
He must have been loved by his owner as he had the sweetest disposition. He wasn't too bothered about playing with other dogs, but he loved people.
He would have made a great companion had someone chosen him for adoption, but he was always overlooked.
At least he knew love at the Sanctuary.

His death was sudden and unexpected. Rudylyn was doing her daily dog health check and noticed Arthur wasn't getting up to greet her as he usually did, so she took him immediately to the vet for a check.
While on the table, he suddenly collapsed and stopped breathing. Despite numerous resuscitation attempts, we couldn't revive him.
It was very likely a cardiac arrest given his advanced age.
Thank you to his sponsors, Catherine and Krista, for all the love and support you gave him.
Run free, sweet Arthur, you were loved beyond measure.
