We received an urgent call… an emaciated dog has been found laying on the streets and taken to the pound. Her condition is terrible and she looks on the brink of death. Jenny was laying on the floor, she was not moving, barely alive when police saw her and took her to the pound. I
We received an urgent call… A galgo puppy had been found on the roadside. He has multiple fractures and cries in pain when touched. The blow must have been tremendous… he has three fractures that urgently need treatment… the sooner he can be operated the sooner he will be able to fully recover. We asked
Daisy was found tied to a post at a gas station… Abandoned by her family, there she was, waiting for them to return… Abandoning dogs is low, but it is even more cruel to dump them when they are hurt. Daisy’s left leg is a mess. She has a carpal fracture that prevents her from
They broke LOLO’s hip and threw him out. We cannot imagine how it happened. Lolo is a cute Labrador puppy and the expression on his face is heart breaking. HIS EYES SAY IT ALL. The anguish of being in a hospital cage, the terrible pain caused by a multiple hip and femur fracture, his internal
Bruno is the other side of summer… the cruelty and abandonment that we get to see every summer holidays. Bruno has been found by the side of the road. Limping under the scorching sun, going nowhere. A senior, with the sad and broken eyes of those that have never been loved. He is scared, with
This is a case of complete and utter cruelty and contempt for life… GORDY was found in a garbage container, dying with her throat cut.

LUCY was abandoned on our doorstep during last night’s storm. We found her trembling in a cardboard box, without moving, hardly breathing, with the saddest eyes we have ever seen. We took her to the hospital immediately… the diagnosis is terrible… LUCY has several broken ribs and a trauma-induced pulmonary contusion. She has received a
SNOOPY was rescued by the police from a situation of abuse and abandonment and taken to the local pound. We found him there, with his eyes blind and bleeding, begging for help. Since he arrived, our main concern was to control and stop his leishmaniasis from progressing, and to try to save at least one
Laika´s story is heartbreaking… LAIKA was found on the fields, barely able to move, EMACIATED, with TRAUMA TO THE HEAD, BROKEN AND LOCKED JAW, UNABLE TO OPEN HER MOUTH… STARVING. She was nearly dead when she arrived to our hospital, we launched an appeal for her and she was largely ignored BECAUSE SHE IS BLACK.
Hip fractures are the most painful conditions for a dog. Trying to move suddenly becomes torture, all basic functions involve pain… and it is a pain that is never ending. They broke PENNY’s hip more than a month ago, and left her to rot in the fields. More than a month dragging herself around, dying
