Original post:<\/h3>\n

\"IMG_3834\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a little village, in an abandoned house, moved in a poor family \u2013 nomads, with no future, no past and no responsibilities. These people had nothing, except the clothes on their backs, but they tied a dog up. To guard. To guard the stinking ruins they called a home. For a while. And when they decided to hit the road again, the dog was left behind tied up. Just another mess, left behind\u2026<\/p>\n

Perhaps they would have taken her on, if it were not for the babies \u2013 5 of them. But then, if they had put any thought to it, perhaps they would have released her, or left some water out. No. It\u2019s more likely they left, without turning back, leaving her to die of thirst and hunger, along with the pups. Forward, on to the next dirty shack and the next dogs of no \u201cvalue\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

\"12980388_1181724361860202_696163607_n\"<\/a> \"12968781_1181724281860210_1761411346_n\"<\/a> \"12980382_1181724078526897_798360547_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eka remained inside. And if it wasn\u2019t for a lucky chance, she would have never been noticed and released from her final prison. But Faith (and that is a proven fact of life) loves dogs. And she always tries to make sure that even the most doomed dog would get one chance, one opportunity. And so, thanks to her, and to you \u2013 the people that make sure this shelter exists \u2013 Eka\u2019s rope was cut, she and her puppies were admitted to the Farm for loving and caring.<\/p>\n

Now Eka is with us. She has been starved for so long that she reared her pups the moment they started to crawl about the wet food we offered. They are still young for this, but they were so hungry always, that they eat and eat and eat. We\u2019ve separated them now and the babies are in a foster home, where they will be looked after until we\u2019ve vaccinated them and the family can re-unite at the shelter.<\/p>\n

And she \u2013 she is a kind soul. When you touch her, she melts like butter, closing her eyes at every caress, she even tries to prove her quality by offering to protect us, which is definitely not a great idea in a shelter full of dogs, but what can you do \u2013 she is a thankful girl, and she doesn\u2019t have another way to show how much she loves us\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3832\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Come walk the dogs at the Farm<\/a> this weekend!
\nHug Eka, give her some treats, make her and her 200+ brothers and sisters in arms \u2013 HAPPY! Yes, the Farmers are not hungry, they are not ill, they are not tortured \u2013 they\u2019ve already been saved by you and us. But there is nothing they like more than the presence of people, this is what they want, this is what they dream about.<\/p>\n

The weekend walks, organized by the Senior volunteers start at 11 and finish at about 16 o\u2019clock.
\nYou are VERY WELCOME!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
