Here he is, the Botzman (Bulgarian for “boatswain”) is a lovely 7-year old German Shepherd – an abandoned or lost pet who was found in a very bad state and needed immediate medical help.The giant’s leg was luxated from his joint, he couldn’t move and was experiencing severe pains.
We had to act quickly and so we did. A resection of the joint was performed and his leg stabilized. It will take some time to heal, but The Botzman will be walking on all fours!
This gentle giant is in need of a caring person – large middle-aged black dogs have the least chance of being adopted from the shelter. If you would like to help this lovely boy find peace in a quiet place till he recoveres and finds a home – please contact us.
This wonderful dog would have been left in pains on the street if it was not for the Bogrov shelter and the shelter clinic. The shelter and clinic are founded solely through the generous donations of people like you – friends of the animals who want to sustain a place where even the most unwanted will be loved and care for. We can not work without your support – become an Animal Rescue Sofia sponsor! Our kind regards onse again to everyone who is helping the Botzman and all his comerades by faith.
