Magda found her family in Austria!

Original post

Although the shelter is absolutely full and overflowing and we’re unable to offer permanent shelter to new animals, our clinic keeps working full speed. The last month we’ve been able to help over 50 homeless dogs and cats.

We cannot tell you about them all, simply because there is no time, but we still try hard to introduce you to the most typical cases in our work. Here are Tanyo and Magda – two incredibly kind creatures who have suffered greatly, but are now happy tripods.

We took Tanyo from the municipal shelter of Bogrov. He has been there since the summer of last year. An old trauma has left his leg paralyzed and with a lot of pain. From all the licking and the immobility the wound was very badly infected, and he was very tired – in the end of his will to hold on.  The x-rays and neuro-conductivity tests showed the leg was beyond repair. D-r Marincheva made his amputation and Tanyo is now recovering successfully at the shelter clinic.

Tanyo is an incredibly good creature, an older guy, although not as old as it would seem, the condition of his teeth is a result of his “happy” life so far.

We know it will be hard to find adopters for him, but we will wait. Because all this pain cannot have been in vain. While we still breathe – we will keep hoping. We have no other choice anyway.

Another sunny soul, who has not live half, but a whole year in such an intolerable condition is our lovely lady Magda. If you have come to the shelter in the last few weeks – you must have noticed her. She is that lovely hunting dog on three legs that cries for attention at her cage door.

Magda has an old trauma to her leg, left untreated for a whole year, when a kind farmer decided to shelter her, because the wounds were so severe. But, the kind man didn’t have the means or knowledge to do more for her, so she remained chained all this time, her condition deteriorating in time.

The x-rays showed Magda has no chance of keeping her leg and the kind soul is already hopping along on three legs, with the help of d-r Marincheva who performed the surgery. Magda is a young and kind creature, full of love, playful, friendly, loving and… simply made to be loved. She is only 2 years old and we really hope she will soon be adopted and enjoying the life she was made for!

Magda and Tanyo are only two of the tens of dogs who find treatment and care  in our little clinic. If you can help us care for them – even by very little – we would be greatly obliged. At this moment, the clinic hosts 26 homeless sweethearts who will not find help anywhere else – dogs with skin conditions, orthopedic patients, babies, adults, oldies with all sorts of traumas and illnesses, waiting to be healed… On their behald, we thank everyone who will pitch in, even with the smallest amount, every little bit matters.
