Bobby is smiling, sweet, loving puppy about a year old, which plays a lot and has fun without realizing that there is a problem. He was found three months ago, before the railways in the province, helpless and very scared with paralyzed hind legs. Doctors from the Central Veterinary Clinic in Sofia have seen through X-rays that there is a bullet in the spine in the center of the spinal cord and do not recommend surgery.

Bobby does not control well his urinary system. The dog is not neutered but is vaccinated / DHP + Lepto, DHP + RL /. Bobby lives in a village with a foster family. Even though care has been taken of him, his wounds are healing slowly and because he feels no pain, he moves constantly. Bobby has a wheelchair, but he can only use it on a flat surface.

Unfortunately there is no alternative treatment in Bulgaria and special care is required due to his condition. People who were there for summer vacation left, because they can not abandon Bobby. They take care of him – feed him, bathe him, clean and disinfect wounds hind legs, but these people are old and have health problems, therefore immediate return to Sofia might be necessary for them, however leaving Bobby behind.

He is very brave boy and will give all his love to everyone who gives him hand. We need help in order to give Bobby a chance to live!

Here he is. The great survivor – an old guy who was dumped on the street with his mighty 3 kilograms – to make it on his own.

Deddy is a pincher/chihuahua mix who has seen much in his long life. One of his back legs is totally useless and simply hangs there as a garnish to his amaciated body and witty eyes. He also has some breathing issues, but most of all, he has a will to live and the most wonderful temperament.

Unlike many small dogs Deddy is a guy with a sense of humor and a wonderful attitude. His priorities in life are:

• Keep warm;
• Eat well;
• Receive maximum love.

What a wonderful list! We should all learn from it, because it reveals the simple art of living.

True that Deddy sometimes uses his diper, but it is always with great care and dignity. When he is not eating, hugging or begging for more food Deddy likes to spend his time cuddling the hot-water bottle and dozzing off.

Don’t think he is some sort of dying old dog! No sir! Deddy was very curious about the 3 cats and 2 dogs at his foster home and even made some sort of playful enthusiastic jumps (if you can imagine jumping on 3 legs) around his 30-kilogram roommates, who were least to say shocked and retreated.

So, what will it be for Deddy? Is he really an unwanted piece of garbage or is there someone in this world who has some love for this old guy. True that he looks kind of shaggy, but his heart is as big as his appetite and ladies and gentlemen, that means HUGE:

Harry and Dominic are two sweet brothers who have gone through the most devastating illness of all – Distemper. Although they survived, unlike 7 of their sibling, both sweet boys have been left lame for life – they will have harmless spasms till the end of their lives. Those spasms are nither painful, nor dangerous, but they are reducing the dogs’ chances of adoption dramaticly.

Harry is the orange boy, his seasures are more visible, he is also a sweetheart – well behaved and friendly.

Dominic looks like a German shepherd dog and has very little seisures. He is a cute, friendly dog.

The boys were born in April 2011. You can see that there is almost no damage to their movement from the distemper, they are two playful, sweet doggies:

Meery is a boy of 8-9 months. When he was 5 months old he was hit by a car and his front leg was paralyzed. The treatment didn’t give the expected results and his leg had to be amputated.

Meery is a merry, friendly, kind and lovable boy. He is vaccinated, but not neutered yet. He loves all dogs and cats and is made to make people smile.

Mamma Pitti is medium-sized with a beautiful ginger color. We call her Mamma Pitti, because she is about 8-9 years old, and the people who brought her in had rediculously proclaimed her to be a pitbull.

She actually arived to us with a huge litter of pups – she was a fabulous mother to them, despite her old age. All of the pups and herself had a bad skin illness, but she fought it off and all her babies are now happily adopted.

Besides being a veteran, Mamma Pitti has worn out teeth. But – she has a splendid temperament – all she wants is to have a warm place to stay and enjoy life.

Mamma Pitti deserves a chance for a happy old life with good and kind people.
