Freya was abandoned close to the Sanctuary in October 2024, along with siblings Feebie and Frannie.  After Feebie passed, we thought Freya and Frannie would survive, but Freya died in the same way on 2 November 2024.  Our hopes are will the one survivor, Frannie, that the same fate does not befall her.  At least Freya knew love, even if only for a short while.

Nikko

Nikko's story is distressing, but by no means uncommon. We rescued him on 16 October 2024 - discarded like trash, walked by, ignored, until someone finally reported him at least.  He was named 
Nikko after a supporter's beloved dog that passed.

We may never know what he went through to land him in this critical state, but xrays showed dislocations to both his front legs which was indicative of them being tied behind his back.

Eventually, he began to eat, and our hopes rose but on 30 October, he started struggling to breathe. We put him on oxygen therapy and bronchodilator medication, but he went into respiratory failure and passed away.
It really takes an emotional toll on us, looking after these sweet souls in such terrible states of neglect.
We watch them fight, we fight alongside them giving them absolutely everything they need.
Then we lose them.
Without you and your support, dogs like Nikko would never have had the chance to experience love and care.
Despite the difficulties, we will do it again and again and again, if it means a dog or cat does not have to die a lonely painful death on the streets.
Run Free Nikko.

We got a report on 13 October 2024 about a very old dog, who had 1 eye missing and half his front leg missing.  It was not a clean cut, so we think it was likely mangled in a car accident and got infected. The poor old soul already had maggots eating his flesh.
We just couldn't leave him. No one else was going to help him, although the person who reported him thankfully picked him up and kept him safe for the night until we could pick him up.
We called him Kirby.
His red blood cells are dangerously low, so we bought plasma and put him on epoetin, which boosts red blood cell production.
We thought he was turning a corner as he began to eat again, but just three days later he passed way.  We did our best to make his last few days comfortable.

Bandit RIP

Bandit was rescued on 17 October 2024, showing horrible burns down his back.  It's hard enough for adult dogs to survive these kinds of injuries.  Bandit was just too young to fight on and passed away within a day of us taking him in.  At least we made him comfortable and pain free for his final few hours.

Brit was bought to us in October 2024.  He had a large swelling on his side, but appeared to be making a slow recovery.  He has such a sweet nature.

Sadly, and without much warning, he began to go downhill a few weeks into his recovery.  Maybe he endured internal damage that evaded our tests and diagnosis.  we can never be sure what our rescues have been through by the time they get to us.  We are so sad we couldn't provide him with a happy future.

Brit RIP

Thank you to everyone who supported Brit during his short time with us.  You can read more about Brit on his profile page here.
