Vilma the Beautiful, a story of love that needs a happy ending

Vilma the Beautiful started her life as part of a litter of hunting dogs in Spain. Born and bred to hunt and be discarded at the end of the season, maybe, if lucky and exceptional hunters to be used for a couple of seasons, rarely more. After that death, either by abandon or by hanging from a tree. Yes… hanging from a tree.

Vilma was lucky and somehow escaped her grim destiny that wasn’t her destiny after all. We don’t know how long she was on the road, but we know one day she arrived to the grounds of the Hospital and decided to stay.

At first, the management of the hospital wasn’t too keen on the idea of having that big dog roaming the hospital grounds but soon she had won the hearts of everyone, management, employees and residents. There was something special about her that made her endearing to everyone that met her. To the patients she brought peace, a smile, and memories of their life outside.

She didn’t only attracted humans. One day, returning from one of her morning walks she arrived to the hospital accompanied by a little rat-terrier white as the snow that was immediately called Pancho and because her official beau and companion of adventures.

Vilma and Pancho became the hospital welcoming committee, and they met hundreds of people, always greeting them happily (that is, jumping and trying to kiss their faces).

This period of happiness lasted until new management arrived, Vilma and Pancho were given marching orders. They would have to find a new place to live and leave what had been their home for so long. I doubt any of them imagined what was to happen.

Pancho was the lucky one.. he was adopted by one of the hospital workers, a beautiful girl that promised him eternal love and that he would never be out on the streets again.

Unfortunately Vilma was too big to be adopted together with her beloved Pancho, but she was placed in a foster home while a final family was found.

Months passed…. in a country crazy for pure breeds Vilma wasn’t wanted, her beauty and kindness totally overlooked. Her days at her foster home were running out, she couldn’t be there any longer, it was at that time that we were contacted and requested to help.

Moved by Vilma’s story and totally in love with her energy and attitude to live we have given Vilma our word that we will find her a home. And we did something else for her… we reunited her with the love of her life… Pancho.

This video is just a short clip describing what happened when they met. Look at this because it’s pure beauty, and the very reason why we love dogs….

Pancho is adopted, and he will remain with Maria forever, but Vilma the beautiful is in a boarding home and she needs to find a home to finally call her own.

Update June 16

Vilma’s story was too beautiful and moving… she HAD to find a home. And she did.

I had the pleasure of taking Vilma to Germany myself. It was a sad trip, but one that marked the beginning of a new life for this beautiful dog.

Vilma now has a home of her own…
