…someone had loved and cared for this dog, Sirus, just a little more?
Or even if the people who saw him had given him some water immediately?
This may just have saved him – but unfortunately Sirus passed away as a result of kidney failure.
When Sirus was handed to us, we knew that it was going to be difficult to save him. But of course we could not turn him away and had to try to help him. In such extreme cases of animal neglect and abuse, we will always do our very best for the welfare of the animal.
It is a case in point that shows that we must continue trying to have the resources (people, time and money!) to focus on such extreme cases. One of the key ways to achieve this is to develop and expand our foster homes program. This program frees the more experienced volunteers, enabling them to give such cases of extreme abuse and cruelty the attention and care they need and deserve. Sadly for Sirus it was just too late….
Therefore it is so important that:
- if you see a dog in such a bad state, try to give it some water – this could already be a life saver!
- we continue to find more foster homes in order to allow us to dedicate more time to extreme cases of abuse and cruelty
- you support us with donations and fundraising - for blood tests, emergency medication and special food for him we spent over 200 Euros.
Help us to help them!
What would have happened if…?
