Miani

We rescued the most heart-breaking case on 3 March 2024.  An old female dog was reported lying inside some bushes. It wasn't easy to get to her as there were electrical cables we had to navigate.
She was in a terrible state. Maggots had eaten her left eye, and her tongue and mouth were infested with them. She had raw wounds on her abdomen and also tested positive for Distemper.
Distemper is a highly contagious airborne disease and we can't bring dogs into the Sanctuary if they have it. No vet clinic here will admit Distemper patients so we took her to the house we have rented for our visiting vets.
Alvin and Angel spent hours pulling out all the maggots, bathed her, put her on IV and gave her the first shot of Distemper antibodies. Alvin stayed at the house for the next few days. We called her Miani.

Sadly, on 6 March 2024, Miani passed away in the company of Rina and Alvin. There was just too much damage caused by the Distemper virus and also from lying, no doubt for days, without care.
She spent the last three days at least, comfortable and cared for and with no signs of pain. She had Alvin feeding her 24/7.  Thank you to everyone who sent in donations for her. Because of this, we were able to give her the best care possible and every medication that could have possibly helped. Instead of dying alone and ignored, she died being known and loved by many.  Rest in peace, run free.
We'd like to say a special thank you to our staff who are willing to do whatever it takes to save a life - Alvin stayed by her side from the moment we rescued her.
