Nebula

Nebula

Named Nebula by the reporter who bought her in, she was in very poor shape, having suffered a hit-and-run by a motorcycle that severed her leg around the end of June 2021.  The reporter offered to raise funds for her, and adopt her when she was better.  

The surgery was successful, and Nebula was scheduled to return to her new adopted home.  She was eating well, and responding positively as you can see in this video clip from 1 July 2021.

Sadly, just as she was recovering at the Sanctuary, she began showing signs of extreme aggressive behaviour.  Rapid temperament change like this is an indication of Rabies, as is a fear of water (Hydrophobia) which she quickly developed.  

She tried to bite everyone who came near, chew at her cage, despite never showing signs of aggression before.  It was with a heavy heart we decided to put her to sleep on Monday 12 July 2021, as Rabies is always fatal for dogs, and is dangerous to humans.  It is such a shame she was so close to enjoying a loving home at last.
