Heartwarming rescues of the week - No. 4

Othilia - we didn't expect her to survive

No, we never thought she'd recover. But she's almost there now. When she came in we thought, 'God help us, we won't be able to save her.' Her wounds were seething with maggots and she herself was a living skeleton.

Still, we started to treat her with horrow and disgust at what we were finding on this poor dog. It was horrible to see. It is unbelievable what some animals have to endure, and that in this unbearable heat. It's something no human could imagine, unless they witnessed it.

Othilia was attacked by other dogs somewhere in the streets of Alhaurin, so this oldie came to us. She's the sweetest, bravest soul that you could imagine, she's used to being in the background, not being noticed. She's now staying in our clinic and getting lots of cuddles. Othilia is always happy, whether she's getting attention or not. She's a really quiet old lady. Grateful and happy with us and everyone.

She has had an operation and her wounds are starting to heal.  Slowly the huge wound on her back is closing up - she must have been in so much pain. It must have been indescribable. So now let's work together to find her good home where she will forget all this and enjoy the last years of her life loved, at peace and free of pain. Othilia deserves this ..  she's a fighter who wanted to live, she didn't want to say goodbye to this world, even though it was has been more than cruel to her.

Unimaginable!

Healing.

Sweet Othilia, safe in our clinic.
