Remember poor little Buk?
He was found by the roadside last month, hopping along with a serious leg injury. At the time of his rescue, the shelter was full to capacity with more than 160 dogs. But Francesca and her team refused to turn their backs on this little boy. Instead, they launched a campaign and managed to raise the funds for him to be transported to Northern Italy and operated on by a very kind vet who gave her services at a discounted rate. The great news is that the three hour surgery saved Buk's leg, and he is now recovering happily in a foster home, awaiting adoption.
What an amazing turnaround for an abandoned dog who was otherwise doomed.
Because Buk had lost the use of his front leg, it had been dragging along the ground, causing a painful lesion.
"I'm not quite sure what she's doing with this magic wand,
but I'm hoping it will make my leg feel better!"
Thank you Rifugio Fata, from the bottom of Buk's little heart!
The team at Rifugio Fata are operating in a part of the world where the stray dog problem is overwhelming, and proactive organizations are few and far between. The team work every day to save as many abandoned dogs as they can and give them a second chance. It is hard to hear about the suffering of animals, but it is always inspiring to hear about people who are out there making a difference.
Every day, dogs and puppies are brought in to Rifugio Fata or left at their gates, or they receive calls about urgent cases spotted on the streets. Often, like Buk, these new arrivals need expensive medical procedures. The walls of the shelter are bursting, and their food and vet's bills are endless. In order to keep doing what they are doing, they need our help. Please consider giving a donation, however small, to help support this wonderful organization.
Our contributions and their efforts, together, make stray doggies' dreams come true every single day!
