Hello guys 🐱 Today I thought I would share a story of my recent rescue with you maybe it could inspire someone to go and rescue some animals from the shelter.
I go to our nearest shelter where they don't have electricity or water and it's snowing this time of the year. They have around 350+ dogs and a lot of new baby puppies. Apparently when I was helping them out normally, I found this little mamma dog being transported inside the cages. She was looking for her puppies and in her cage were 5 more dogs and she wasn't getting along with anyone. Everyone was biting her but they could not put her anywhere else since they didn't have a lot of free cages. I couldn't take her since I already have 5+ animals at home and 2 of them were new Foster kittens.
The day after a received a call how she had stopped eating and not even drinking water. This was her face when I went to see her^
She knew something that I didn't. Well the same day in the middle of the night around 12 am I went to get her from the shelter since I couldn't sleep, couldn't focus, she literally sat there waiting for me.
The shelter is 5.2 km away in an abandoned area , kind of like fields but yes super scary , as I walked alone with her out of the shelter she kept on smiling. Such a weird dog I thought. I was sure someone was going to adopt such a sweetheart. She was around 2 years old and was as small as a cat.
But who knew she had different plans...
I was so scared that she will bite the other kittens and dogs since I rent a 1bhk and there is literally no way I will leave them outside in the yard. We came home, gave her a bath, we were literally scared for our cats since she didn't like them but since it's lockdown and my college is off therefore I decided, well I can very well stay at home.
This is her literally 5 minutes afterwards.
The shelter have so many dogs, puppies, sick ones, one's without legs even some who cannot see, but the government they don't fund the shelter, it's literally on a brink, people come and drop off some food , clothes , whatever they can.
This dog , he cannot see , he is fully blind from both eyes , apparently I believe he was surrendered.
I have more than 100 pictures of the condition they are living in. Since it's pandemic, people don't really go there anymore. 2 girls work as volunteers and they go out on walks only once in a while. I was only able to save candy from here and I cannot really go there everyday since right now I have a mini rescue shelter at home too.
This is her now , enjoying her life. Apparently two people came to see her, to adopt her but Ms. Candy wanted to bite them. She literally is the most grateful, the most gentle and beautiful creature I have ever seen but apparently she doesn't wanna go now. Lol yeah so I have a total of 5 pets now.
She is a better guard dog than my dog and she loves , literally loves my rabbit.
This is her giving the bunny kisses 😂
Her smile is so weird , like she knew this was going to happen. See I understand that because of the quarantine I cannot ship them to some other country or get them adopted afar. But I believe it all comes down to if you are ready to give a homeless animal home. I believe you can all take a trip to your nearest shelter and try and see if you find someone who literally would be grateful for a roof over their head , a bowl and ofcourse a lot of love.
Please 🙏🙏
The situation is dire and I believe we all can change it. I really met such good people here who are willing to adopt but unfortunately during the pandemic I cannot see how it will go though. So how about you guys try and share stories of your rescue pets too ? Maybe someone will get inspired to make a trip down to their nearest shelter?
I managed to relocate the two baby kittens , the mama pitbull , her babies died because of parvovirus that was really unfortunate. Other than that we rescued a pregnant mom cat , she is happy and living in a temporary shelter and two other cats who were thrown outside.
I can share many more stories... If someone wants some advice on cats/dogs/bunnies , maybe if you don't know if it would be right , you can message me 24*7 , I could help and see if I can support you in any way.
