India: Goa : Resident Dogs : Blocky

Name: Blocky
Gender: Female
Colour: White
Age: Old!

Funny characteristic: She only has one eye due to an accident a long time ago.

Blocky, a stray dog from Mapusa, was care for by IAR supporter May who faithfully provided food and TLC every time she went to town. She was concerned that due to her age Blocky was not able to fend for herself for much longer. As well as her one eye she is no longer as mobile as she used to be so she was constantly at risk loosing out to the younger and healthier dogs who kept giving her a hard time. May brought Blocky to the centre to get her treatment for mange (she had already been sterilised some time back) and she asked if we would consider making Blocky a centre dogs once she had recovered. Blocky has lived amongst our other centre dogs for several months now and she has settled in nicely. She gets on with the rest - they obviously know how to show respect for the elderly! - and she quietly wanders about or curls herself up in a shady corner.
