Dodo is, actually, a girl. Today she was taken to City vet where she was examined. The conclusion is that the leg must be amputated because it cannot be saved. She is now in surgery for the amputation of the leg, ripped tail and will also be spayed. Keep your fingers crossed for this little one. We will keep you updated.
As soon as we arrived at the clinic, she got comfy under a chair as if she knew she was going to stay there for a while.
The story:
Four – five days ago, we received a request for help from Ploiesti. This is it:
“I am writing to to you in hope that you can help this little soul that needs people like you to get over the bad things heartless people had done to him.
A few days ago, on my way to work, I saw a puppy. I was shocked by the state he was in.. you could see he had been abused..his tail was cut off..he could not use his back leg..he’s dragging it..and it is extremely swollen. I suppose he needs surgery..treatment..I gave him some painkillers..but cannot afford the operation and the treatment he needs. Please help me.. help him live and not suffer anymore. In spite of all he has been through, he still trusts people and does not run.. he is very gentle and needs lots of attention and love. He is staying outside a block od flats and I fear something bad can happen to him.. there are a lot of bad people or he coul be take by the dog catchers..he can’t even run.”
Initially, we hoped we could find someone from that area that could take him in. Our shelter is already more than full. But things didn’t go the way we hoped and Dodo’s condition was getting worse. The fact that one day he was never to be found urged us to drive immediately and get him. As a result, this morning, two of our volunteers went to get Dodo. Sadly, they saw that his injuries were a lot worse than expected. His tail is cut off, one of his legs was caught in a wire and is gravely injured so it might lead to amputation.
Despite it all, Dodo is an extremely gentle dog. He was calm as we put the harness on and on the way back, he behaved great in the car, along with his companion, the puppy found in the woods.
Dodo is now in our care and will receive the medical care he needs. It is urgent that we find a foster home as he continues his treatment.
