Rifugio Fata received a phonecall about this abandoned dog a few days ago. In any rescue case, time is of the essence, but even more so when the dog is left by the roadside and could get hit by a car.
Rifugio Fata's walls are full to bursting at the moment. The team are dealing with a lot of medical emergencies and the location of this dog was over an hour away by car. So Francesca put out an appeal on Facebook to see if somebody in the area would go and pick her up. Unfortunately, nobody came forward.
Remember Irene? ...The superhero volunteer at Rifugio Fata who gave Lady a foster home after she was hit by a car and lost the use of her back legs? Well, Irene and another dog-lover called Anna couldn't stand the thought of this sweet little doggie-in-need spending another night alone, so they donned their 'animal hero' capes and set off to find her!
Knowing that this little girl would more than likely be afraid, Irene and Anna went armed with yummy treats. They found her cowering by the roadside, and they started to make friends with her.
Even though she was very nervous, she quickly realized that these lovely humans were her heroes, and there was nothing to fear. They called her Paola.
As anybody involved in dog rescue will agree, this is the moment we all live for! Seeing the pure joy on a sweet doggie's face when they are airlifted out of misery and given a second chance at life.

Mission accomplished!
Irene has very kindly agreed to give Paola a foster home. She will be microchipped, spayed and vaccinated.
As you can see, Paola is pretty happy about this new arrangement!
Another abandoned doggie's dream comes true! Congratulations Paola, and thank you Irene and Anna! You are superstars!
