Jack Russell Terrier Sheldon has bounced back and is looking for his forever home thanks to kind members of the public who funded his life-saving surgery.

Two-year-old Sheldon was brought into the RSPCA’s Coventry branch last summer and was diagnosed with a grade five heart murmur. He urgently needed a scan and surgery to fix his broken heart.

Surgery to fix the hole in his heart cost £1,500 and was generously raised by supporters who had been touched by Sheldon’s story.

Jade Mason at the RSPCA Coventry, Nuneaton and District branch said: “We can’t thank our supporters enough for raising the money needed to fix Sheldon’s heart. The surgery was a success and he has made an amazing recovery which means we are confident he can now live a long and happy life without further complications.

“We are looking for a loving home for him with someone who has had experience of terriers previously. He would like to live in a home without other pets and will need to live with families who have teenagers or older.

“Sheldon is a loving, happy boy and he is quite a character.”
