UPDATE 26/7
Dear friends,
the funds needed for the surgeries of the three angels have been raised!
We hope we will be able to give you good news on them as early as tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for the babies, these are complicated surgeries, especially the one of tiny Baby who weighs 0,7 kilos…
Original post 25/7
So many things are happening in the Farm right now…
- We’re building a Puppygarten!
Thanks to you and the help of In Time, the construction begins! We were going to start pouring the concrete, but had unexpected problems with the canals and sewage. We will be able to finish them on the 27-28-th and hope the rest of work will not take long. We will inform you all about it first chance we get. - We managed to send TRANSPORT X/2017 to Holland!
With the absolutely amazing help of the people who work at Sofia Airport Center we sent 29 puppies and 5 kittens to their destination Happiness! They already arrived, and we still haven’t had the time to tell you the story, we’re very sorry… - We’re launching AnimAle!
This Wednesday – 26.07 is the premier of our super-cool dog beer – AnimALE. It’s an awesome initiative that we’re able to put through thanks to 100 BEERS. Doggies from the Farm, who have waited for their owners for a long time now, will smile at people from the labels of a special ale. We will see you THERE. And keep your fingers crossed for them! - We’re swamped with animals – healthy and ill…
The shelter is in great distress with too many dogs. But the biggest issue is with the ones who need urgent orthopedic surgeries which we cannot provide for them. Here we introduce you to the most urgent cases – the dogs that cannot wait for a better day, in risk of losing their legs, if they are not treated by orthopeditian Hristo Nikolov immediately.
Ronja
Ronja was found on the road near the shelter, with a broken leg. We found out she was abandoned on Saturday night, right next to our fence, along with her sister. They got out of the box. Ronja was hit by a car, and the other baby fell victim to the homeless dogs of the area.
We have no words, but have to take care of little Ronja. She has a broken hip bone, and just like Baby, it is close to the joint. D-r Nikolov will have to put a needle into her bone to fix it. If that doesn’t happen, the leg will heal in a wrong way and cause her pain every day, for the rest of her life.
The price for Ronja’s surgery is 250 BGN (125E).
Mootsunka
Gentle Mootsunka comes from Nadejda 6 district. She was hit by a car outside of 635B. We admitted her with a pneumothorax and a luxated hip joint.
Mootsunka s a lovely, quiet, lovable and kind animal. She is in a great deal of pain and cannot get up. The surgery she needs is very complicated and has to take place immediately if she is to keep her leg.
The price for Mootsunka’s surgery is 400 BGN (200E).
Baby
We admitted a litter of 7 abandoned puppies, under a month old. A handful each, terribly frightened and really, really small. One of them was screaming in agony. And no wonder – the little Baby has two broken back legs.
One has a broken tibia, very close to the hip joint which makes the surgery quite complicated (because she is so small). The other can be healed without surgery. Baby is really tiny and if she is to keep her leg, she has to be treated right away.
The price for Baby’s surgery is 250 BGN (125E).
Help
If you have any possibility – however small it may be – please, help them. The surgeries have to happen as soon as possible, as the patients are young, in a great deal of pain and their chances for recovery grow weaker every day.
Thank you for caring!
