Let me tell you a secret… I do have moments when I look around me and I see nothing but problems waiting to be solved. I see pressing demands and commitments. I see mounting obligations. I see pain no matter where I look. But when this happens I look at a picture I treasure. It is my screen saver.
This is the picture that helps me get through these days..
This, above all others, it´s the image I hold on when times are bad and when I need some motivation.
This, my friends, is Monty.
I will never forget the day I saw Monty for the first time. We had driven across the country to pick him up from where he laid for three months, dejected and forgotten, with his frame shattered, unable to move, unable to pee or poo without assistance, unable to stand, battling internal infections and the most horrible pain caused by untreated injuries… There he was, being held in front of me, reeking of dried and recent pee, poo… unable to stand but staring at me with penetrating gaze.
Save me, he said with his eyes…
The message to our vets was clear. If Monty has survived for so long on his own, if he has arrived to us after all this pain and despair, it is our obligation to save him, to go the extra mile for him, to try things that weren´t tried before, to seek alternative approaches using technology out of the reach for most dogs.
The message was simple: We had to save Monty´s life.
It´s been close to two years since Monty was rescued and these images are nothing but a tribute to the indomitable spirit of this incredible dog.
It took us two years to find Monty a home. No matter how incredible his recovery has been he remains a special needs dog, needs that not everyone would be able to fullfill. But after all this time, the perfect family has been found, and it´s time to send him home…. to the most developed society in the world.. NORWAY!!!
It works both ways… Monty must surely be grateful to us (in a doggie-dog kind of way), as much as we are thankful to him for giving us the inspiration and strength we so hardly need to carry on with our mission.
It´s time for Monty to leave our protection and to find his new path in life, with his new family… PLEASE, let´s, together, do one last thing for Monty. We saved his life… now let´s send him home.
If you have reached this far, you must have been one of the ones that have cried and rejoiced with every update of Monty during these two years..
It´s time to do one last thing for him.. Please help us send Monty home.. Please DONATE towards Monty´s journey to his Northern Paradise…
Many thanks!
Viktor
My dear Monty,
I was one of the people that helped you get back on your feet. I donated to you twice, and even if things looked as bad as they did, we never lost hope.
I would have loved nothing more than to adopt you, the least thing I can do now is to help you reach home.
Viktor, I´m sending $40 towards his journey.
Keep us posted please! Want to see him in his new life!
Goodspeed Sweet Monty
Tony

What a beautiful soul. This is the first time I’ve seen Monty – this brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you for saving him. Donation sent.
Tears of joy instead of sadness in my eyes. Such a beautiful story. I watched in horror when you first brought Monty to your clinic in such a horrible state and have followed his journey to the wonderful healthy dog you’ve brought him to today.
Viktor, yours and your teams devotion, tenacity and unwaivering commitment to these animals is awe inspiring. You are one of my heros in life. My monthly donation will always be there for you guys. You and Animals Australia are the only charities I donate to because you’re both amazing organizations and I’ll increase the amount when I find work.
It sounds like you’re going to have an amazing life Monty. It makes me so happy for you & it’s all thanks to you Viktor.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Deborah
That you from the bottom of mine Deborah …
Love to Australia from us.
Viktor
Donated as always. God speed to Monty and God Bless you Viktor! You are in my prayers. Giving thanks for your generosity of spirit, heart, mind, body and soul.
Many thanks Terri… thank you!
I did not know of Monty’s story until today. I have donated to several dogs Viktor has saved. I am so happy for Monty. Thank God for Viktor & all the good people that help save these precious lives. I can donate for Monty next week. GOD BLESS MONTY. GOD BLESS VIKTOR & HIS STAFF. Thank you ALL so very much for every life you have saved. 🙂
What a story that was right?
Many thanks for your help Dena..
I donated towards sending Monty to his new living home & his new humans …. I am do glad he is being adopted… PTL
Inspiration, love and commitment are the values that every dog and cat and animal sends out into the world once they have experienced these things from Viktor and all the wonderful people at LAG, as well as the supporters of Let’s Adopt Global. WHAT a story. What an inspiration. What love – and what tenacity. The results are totally inspirational. If the world was like this everywhere, we would want for nothing.
Monty, what an inspiration you are. I hope you find your loving and forever home soon. Thank you to all who have cared for and loved you thus far. I am sure they will follow your adventures. I am so happy I got to read your story today. Take care. Long, happy life.
