EDIT 01.03:
Dear friends, thank you for your immediate assistance! The necessary amount for Barry and Snoopy has been succesfully raised!We could hardly beleive it, but there are actually 345BGN more than what these two needed! The ammount will be used to help two other wonderful dogs – Lenny and Mishka.
We help tens of injured animals every week, but this week is truly a week of emergencies at the shelter. So many animals have come in with traumas, injuries and need of immediate madical assistance that we are struggling to help them all…
Today we turn to you for help once again, in hope that you would help two good boys walk on all fours again. Both these guys have something in common – they have been “treated” and because of this “treatment” their condition has detiriorated. Both of them can lose their legs if they are not helped right away.
Let us introduce you to the stories of Barry and Snoopy and maybe they will be lucky to get your help and be able to run like the wind again – it is up to you:
Snoopy is a little guy of only 5,5kg, he is not more that 1 year old and very kind…
The story of Snoopy is absolutely strange. He was found by local children in a box in the Boyana district with a note glued to it, saying: “We called Ecobalance”. We have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but ut us a fact that we found little snoopy with a severely crushed back leg, missing toes and probably a broken pelvis.
Someone had tried to “help” Snoopy, his whole leg was wrapped in a dirty cloth, so that his protruding bones don’t touch the ground when he limps along. It was all infected and smelly when we opened it.
It is not yet clear how the doctors will proceed with Snoopy. The tests he needs in order to receive a certain diagnosis are already too expencive for us – 160BGN. And we are absolutely broke at the moment, can’t even afford his x-rays.
Since we already have quite a debt to a private veterinary clinic who has helped many of our animals – we can no longer treat the animals on credit, we need to pay up. Unfortunately, we will not be able to help Snoopy walk again unless he can touch the hearts of someone who would send something for him especially. If you are that person – please DONATE for Snoopy and the Bogrov clinic.
Barry is a friendly young hunting dog who must have been wandering the streets for a while…
Barry was found helpless by the road. Ran over by a car, extremely skinny and… absolutely delighted to see people!? His front leg was badly broken, so the people who found him rushed him to a clinic. There, he was x-rayed and his leg put into a cast.We will not say the name of this clinic, but this must have been the worst thing to happen to Barry – they put his leg into the cast so poorly, that it began to heal in a crooked way…
How surprised were the people when a few days later they found Bary feeling worse and his leg very swalen? He had lost his enthusiasm, in big pain and confusion. Again, he was rushed to a clinic, this time – to the Bogrov clinic, and from there when we foudn how bad his leg was – to Central Vet Clinic. When his cast was removed it showed a severy swallen, very badly fixed leg that would need immediate surgery to be saved from amputation.
But with too many operations the last few days – we can’t afford to treat poor Barry. His surgery will cost 300BGN that we don’t have. So Barry stands at a crossroad… Will he get to keep his front leg with an expenicbve surgery, or will he remain with a crooked leg forever, thus, losing the chance of being rehomed?
If you would like to help Barry run and bounce as he would love to – please, DONATE for him and the Bogrov clinic.
Snoopy and Barry thank you for your help!
