Something terrible has happened to Sebastián. Sebastián fell from the couch and broke his back! He began trembling in pain and could barely move. We rushed him to Juan, our veterinarian, where X-rays revealed a compression fracture in his spine. The injury is unstable. If the fractured vertebra moves further, it could cause catastrophic damage…

I have terrible news… Yesterday morning, Canela tried to stand up and couldn’t. Her left hind leg had stopped responding, and she had lost sensation in part of her body. We rushed her straight to the hospital. The X-rays revealed a serious problem in the lower part of her spine. Her nerves are being compressed,…

Carla was rescued in December 2019. The police handed her over to Chelo in a terrible condition: skeletal, covered in wounds and abandoned. Since then, Carla has waited far too long. She spent years in a boarding kennel, without a family of her own. During that time she had health problems, leishmaniasis, ear problems and,…

Wendy was found in the fields. She was lying there, abandoned, in a terrible condition. Someone called the municipal animal collection service, and they took her to the pound. That is where we found her. She is only about four years old, but she looks as if life has been beating her down for years.…
