If there would be a "emergency" puppy of the month, it would be Paloma!
For Paloma's former "master" she was only a useful object which no longer serves its intended purpose. That's why he neglected Paloma and also her dog buddy Leon in the worst way. The condition of the dogs was fatal - when the officials of the agricultural authority confiscated the two dogs, the dogs' crate was full of feces. Unfortunately, there was no dog food available, so the dogs had to eat their own excrement. Such stories break our hearts every time anew and show us that we have to continue diligently to protect animals!
As you can see on the pictures, Paloma is extremely affected by her bad living conditions. Her ears are extremely "eaten off" due to cold and leishmaniasis and she is also almost blind. One leg is a bit lame, which is due to an old untreated but healed fracture.
Even though everything possible is being done for the dog lady at the Refugio - it is not the perfect place for a dog in her condition.
Paloma needs a place of grace where she can learn that there are also good people with lots of love. Despite her bad experiences, she feels whoever is good to her brings unconditional gratitude!
Would you like to give Paloma a warm and safe place?
Paloma travels like all our dogs chipped, vaccinated (rabies and 5-fold), dewormed, tested for Mediterranean diseases, neutered and equipped with EU pet passport into a new life!
