Animal rescuers have saved a dog with fur so matted it was dreadlocked from a life of neglect in Thailand and now plan to find him a forever home.

They found the brown dog in a terrible state walking around the yard. Sugar, who is ten, was weak and neglected and his owner admitted the family was unable to look after him.

She was failing to provide appropriate food and living conditions for Sugar, which is against Thailand’s animal welfare law.
The owner agreed to hand over Sugar on May 28 and the following day he was taken to a temporary shelter belonging to the foundation, where his transformation began.
Dog groomer Kriangkrai Thawakorn volunteered to shave and cut Sugar’s messy, matted fur to make him more healthy and comfortable.
Staff later took Sugar for a shower and checked him over before sending him to an animal hospital for a further physical examination.
