It was three in the morning. Someone sent me an urgent email and a picture. A dog was trying to survive in the forest but she was loosing the battle. The person had given her a bag of food before leaving. She had no water. She barely had any hair. Her skin was full of scars. She must have lived in total agony for months. I went to bed but I couldn´t sleep. All I could think of was that heartbreaking image…. All I could think of was finding her and make it all right for her. I had to go… there was no time to waste. We searched for hours. She was nowhere to be found. At last, she was there…. hiding in the bushes. 
The glaring sun showed us the extent of her injuries. It was heartbreaking… We have named her Sweetie, to reflect the beauty and kindness of her character. We immediately put all our resources to work towards saving her life. The damage done by Mange on her skin is as terrible as the ravages of Leishmania and Erlichia on her insides…. She has anemia… her blood is thin as water. But there is hope. Her conditions are treatable, and if she has survived for so long, if she has held to life for as long as deserves all the help we can give her. Right now Sweetie, is in intensive care in our clinic, connected to IV fluids … She was about to die when we found her. It´s time for Sweetie´s life to turn around. — 
Update 12 of May… Little by little life starts to come back to a dog that everyone thought would die… One step at a time.. 
— 
Update 30th of May… Meet the New Sweetie… too beautiful for words… 
Sweetie is still looking for an incredible home. Are you the one? Please write to me on viktor@myletsadopt.com. Many suggested Sweetie should be euthanised… We proved them wrong. —
—
UPDATE 27 OF AUGUST…
This is the final rescue video of Sweetie… it tells the full story, from the day she was rescued until the day we said goodbye leaving her in the arms of her family…
If you are one of the people that made this possible… THANK YOU, because nothing we do can happen without you…
What an incredible video…
We´ll be updating you on Sweetie´s incredible life here and in our page, Let´s Adopt! Global..
In the meantime, Please, if you can, help us continue our work. Please Donate and help us save other animals in conditions as terrible as Sweetie was…
Many thanks!
Viktor
Please Help us continue rescue… Please SHARE this post on Facebook!
OMG! HOW?
How can someone see this baby and not do anything about it? It takes a long time for a dog to get to this point. Absolutely terrible.
Don´t worry Swettie, we are going to help you.
Donated.
OMG 🙁
please save her, pleaseeeee
Viktor Larkhill, you are an amazing earth angel! What you and your team achieve is just incredible, and miraculous. You have a huge heart for animals and I’m just so very grateful, and in awe for all you accomplish on behalf of these beautiful and precious souls. It never ceases to amaze me how these lovely creatures respond to the love that is poured out to them. ySweetie, although she’s been SO neglected and abandoned, is one lucky girl to have been rescued by you… and I’m donating towards her recover
Donated, please save her; every day passes I hate our race more and more.
Help her for God, help her for heart..
Heartbreaking. What a beautiful soul, thank you for helping her and giving her the best chance. You’ and the team are amazing; Look forward to positive updates soon. Lots of love Sweetie x
You can see how sweet and beautiful she is inside……..PLEASE everyone help. I will donate and share her. My heart is with her.
help ,help please ..Let’s not be complacent, please
It never ceases to amaze me what humans do to animals! How could someone leave her to die, so slowly and painfully! I see no hope in her eyes. I know that Victor and his organization will change that, I am donating and hope that other do the same! Come on Sweetie, keep fighting!
What you do is hard and difficult but thank goodness you are doing it. Wish I could send more but I have commitments to another animal rescue. I will continue to support as much as I can..networking the tremendous work you do…WELL DONE TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM
Thank you Victor for all that you and your team do. All of you are angels on earth. Poor Sweety, please take good care of her, she so needs to be loved by someone! 🙂
sorry not a big donation but wanted to donate something for Sweetie
I Am so sad
Sorry, I meant to say Viktor!
OMG! That poor little baby. How can someone be so cruel to just leave her to die a terrible slow death. What is wrong with this world. Victor please save this precious animal. Help her.
how very very sad. what a beautiful dog
Terrific work guys! Thanks so much.
Small donation on its way. How could the people who reported her not hand at least taken her home or partway to meet you? Am so glad you’re there. People like you are the only barrier against total barbarism. I hope that Sweetie responds to treatment. Please keep us updates. Thanks.
To przerażające :'( = This is horrible :'(
I can’t believe that a man /human could do it :'(. But it’s truth :'(
Why can’t I share this to my Facebook page?

What city is she in recovering? Does anyone know?
Hi Joanie.. she is in Valencia, Spain…
Donated please save courageous Sweetie, she needs to know love and a comfortable life, she tried to wage her tail when the rescuer patted her ! Thanks so much Viktor and your team, please keep us updated ! love from Sydney
porque la gente es tan maldita
donation of $35.00 made, this is the reason im an animal person more than a people person, god bless your wonderful work viktor , she is in the best hands now xx
She is really so innocent 🙁
c est dans quel pays??? jeviens de voir ce loulou ,abandOnné daNs une foret ,la pauvre c est uNe honte et puis combien de temps survivait elle ??ELLE A UNE MAladie de peau la leishmania j espere qu elle va vivre et qu elle sera adoptée , ,dans quel monde on vit pour abandonner ,laisser crever son chien pauvre puce je suis de france tres emue et merci de l aimer de la soigner
Elle est en Espagne, et bien sur que vivra et trouvera une famille… on est ici pur ca..
Amitiés
Some humans amaze me…..they toss away their beloved animals as soon as soon as they get sick…would they do this to one of their children if they couldn’t afford to buy the medication they needed to be well??? A dog or a cat is a family member and should be taken care of the same as a child….you are the leader of their pack and they look at their owner as a beloved member of their pack so how could anyone with a heart or a conscience turn their back on their animals. Abusing animals makes me ill and I will never understand why anyone would have an animal if they have no intention of loving and taking good care of their family member. I am so sorry for the condition that Sweetie is in but I am so happy that you, Viktor and your team have her in your care because I know you will do the best you can for this beautiful girl. I will donate later.
Many thanks for being there Beryl…
why is spain so horrible to dogs??? And the bullkilling as well
I don´t know… it´s pretty horrible everywhere to be honest, not just Spain. Everywhere.
Shared on our For pets Sake Sharing Page on Facebook. Thank You For coming to her Rescue!
Many thanks Patricia!
Viktor I sent a small donation. If you can’t find her a home in Europe are you able to get her to the states? Please feel free to email me or send a friend request. She looks shepherd and I’ve the privilege of German Shepherd companionship all of my life. Bless you and praying for Sweetie.
Hi Helen.. yes, of course she could go to the USA. Please drop me an email on viktor@myletsadopt.com and let´s take it from there..
Please write to me.
Best
She is soooo beautiful!! What a precious life, what a “Sweetie”
Donated for you Sweetie, I hope I can give more later….stay strong little one. We love you and want you to have the best life….thank you Viktor and team for saving this sweet innocent life, Susan
Donated. How could I not?
Brilliant work Let’s Adopt Global team! Please save beautiful Sweetie & find her a loving forever home ♥ donated as much as I can to help this brilliant charity! Go team LAG!
Hola Viktor, yo soy de Valencia, pero no sé de cuando es esto!
Tienes que poner las fechas de los comentarios y actualizaciones para que nos situemos!
Espero que esta perrita haya encontrado un hogar y una familia que la trate como se merece!
Cual es su estado actualmente? Se encuentra mejor??
Mantennos al corriente!!!!!
Hola Ara..
El caso lo publicamos anoche. Es actual. En estos momentos Dulce esta en cuidados intensivos en nuestra clínica en Valencia…
Please make her well Vicktor, she deserves it, it is beyond me how somebody could treat a sentient creature this way, a beautiful innocent creature who gives back love in abundance. Get well prescious Sweetie and may God guide your loving hands Vicktor, I have sent a Donation.
I am reduced to tears – as always. The tears are sadness for the suffering – and happiness for the rescue by you guys. Bless you always. Please use my donation for Sweetie. I hope she recovers quickly so she can have the hugs in the loving home she deserves. xx
Many thanks… She´s going to be amazing… and she´s as black as your two little monster, want a third one? 🙂
Praying for you Sweetie <3
Donated
Thank you Amy!.. Well do our best for her..
Donated and shared on FB and Twitter, keep up the great work
Many thanks Kevin… thank you…
Thank you Viktor for always going the extra mile. Praying for her recovery – just so ashamed to be part of the human race sometimes.
How could anyone do this to a defenseless animal?…she is a beautiful, innocent, and loving animal who only wants to give and receive love. Thank you for taking care of her. Wish I could give more….. <3
Wow tjank you guys for saving this angel. You guys are her very own HEROES and i love and appreciate everyone involved, you guys effin ROCKKKK!
I am in tears – again and again to see all this abuse in the world, it just breaks my heart so much. Thank you for going to find her and for bringing her to a place where she at least has another chance to live, she had none where she was left. She is a beautiful sweet soul, you can see that by her eyes and she even tried to wag her tail in the car ….. poor baby girl.
Thank you for all you are doing for her, I will be watching and waiting for her updates and I am donating a little for her care.
God be with you Sweetie, I am holding you in my heart and praying for your recovery and a new loving forever home. xx
What a sweet baby…..I just wanted to hold her and love her. how someone can do that is just hard to understand. I want to see pictures of her when she is better…PLEASE POST the after care pictures
Where is your location, and information? I would like to see it , just for my own sake. What’s it going to take in the long run? Describe to me what the internal problems are, so I understand? How old is she? Very interested.
Hi Paul… we are registered in Southbridge Massachussets but Sweetie has been rescued in Valencia, Spain.
We rescue internationally…
She has Leishmaniosis, Erlichia and anemia… the three diseases are treatable and we are doing just that. She will stay at the clinic until she gets a clean bill of health. By the time she leaves she will be a totally different dog, I promise you that.
If interested drop me an email on viktor@myletsadopt.com
Many thanks!
Hi Viktor, I am curious as to the treatment Sweety will receive for Leishmaniosis as I have been informed that there is no actual cure for this condition and infected dogs are likely to relapse?? Absolute respect to all involved in this fantastic rescue if Sweety, you are indeed a beacon of hope.
Whoever told you this has no idea. Leishmaniosis is a chronic disease, but not much more different that the herpes virus in humans. Chances of relapse are very minimal if the animal has a good home, no stress and good quality of life.
Please Watch this two stories:
Romeo, has Leishmaniasis http://blog.myletsadopt.com/2014/01/29/romeo-a-dog-transformed-into-a-walking-zombie/
Tom: has Leishmaniasis http://blog.myletsadopt.com/2014/05/02/toms-final-journey/
Look at them now..
Donated… But the sadness and reality is that there will never be enough people or enough space for all the animals in the world that suffer from abuse… OMG if there was only humanity in all… we would not see such sadness.. This breaks my heart- but then I see stories like Tom and Mia.. that lighten the load… God Bless You
Poor Sweetie (“Dulce” in Spanish?)!!! Yes, she looks at least part-German Shepherd; however, REGARDLESS, life is life!!!!
It doesn’t matter what breeds or breed-mixes are in an animal (dog, cat, mink, ferret, &c.): it ALWAYS is valuable as part of God’s Creation. Furthermore, one can be surprised at what talents can all the more be found in a mongrel or “mutt”!!!
Thank you so very, very, very much for helping Sweetie!!! God Bless her and you – I’m looking forward to another success story from you…
Many thanks Alexander.. Yes.. Dulce is a podenco, same breed as Tom just that much younger and black..
We are doing everything for her. She will make you proud.
A little bit to help Sweetie, thank you Viktor as you work your miracles to help another of God’s creatures thank you
Keep all of us updated on how she is doing
Hi Viktor, I’m donating again for this lovely girl. I’m so happy you are helping her. We have a rescued black Belgian shepherd mix who was found starving in the woods too. My heart melts for this girl. We have another Pup also. Hoping to see good news for her in coming updates, and thank you for rescuing her…
Thank you Christine.. please drop me a mail on viktor@myletsadopt.com and let´s take it from there… she is going to need an amazing family after she is recovered..
We may be interested in her as well.
Viktor. Thank you to you & your team for the incredible hardworking job you all do to help the animals.
I cant believe how someone could leave her like that. I’m completely in tears. Viktor you guys are a god sent. I will donate soon as possible. Sweetie deserves to live a happy loving home.
Thank you Robyn…
I sent a small donation straight from Paypal website to your email, since the link provided here, was only partially encrypted. Thanks for the caring of this little one.
Donated. Thank u viktor
Many thanks Kimberly.. thank you
Really sad situation , why human race is so heartless!? What did this dog did to you that you toss her away like old shoes!?
I am so glad she is with you Viktor, you and your group are angels on earth!!
Let’s pray for better days for Sweetie!! She deserves it!!! Donated for her care! God Bless you Viktor!
Im a lost for words are these people that did this because i see the devils workwell all i will say is you dont have the right to go on being in our world but if u have too then i know god has a forgiving heart but i hope god has no mercy on your SOUL hope he just send u straight to the devil
Donated! Sending positive thoughts, hugs and kisses from California. Wish I could do more.
Victor, where is Sweetie now? Is she being treated in Spain or Mass.?
Hi Melanie.. Sweetie is in Valencia, Spain…
She´s amazing.. she really is..
Love those ears… I know you’ll do your best for sweetie and a small (sorry) donation sent. Such sad images, heartbroken but very very angry!!
The poor dog so glad she is getting all the help she needs to make a full recovery , how could her owners let this happen ? This is so wrong hope they find her owners prosecute them & get banned from keeping any animal for life xx
Once again thank you is just not enough for all the miracles you do, I hate the human race, then read all the replies & people who care & donate & my faith is restored, I donate to Lets Adopt Global by monthly debit as feel helps to know have a regular small amount & so easy, please all if can do this will help so much.for all the rescues. Did you manage to save all the shelter cats after Viktor?
Yes Norma, we did… I will send you a video tomorrow you’ll see…
Thank you for all you do Viktor and your amazing team. My heart breaks watching these videos, such beautiful animals that deserve to be treated with love and respect, thank goodness for people like you, I don’t have a lot of money but will donate what I can.
Thank you for your reply and for the links, it seems that there is a huge misunderstanding of this condition in the uk as I have had several conversations with vets and various others regarding this. I have been attempting to rescue a dog from Iraq and have met so many walls with regards to transportation and quarantine it is so frustrating. Thank you for educating me that bit more!
Manda, because in the Uk the disease doesnt exist vets there are simply not knowledgeable and they err in the side of caution. Also, traditionally the uk has been closed to the imports of animals. They just don’t know…. Its sad
donated. please keep us updated. thank you.
Viktor yo he rescada 22 perritos y los tengo son mis bebes.. algunos tenian Mange y fuerte.. Pero consegui un remedio bien barato se llama Borax y lo mexclas con Agua Oxigenada y le echas agua medtad de la cubeta de 5 galones.. y alli metes al perrito y lo empapas bien con eso en el dia siguiente veras que se le seca toda la piel infectada y se acabo el mange.. lo haces cada 3 nada mas 3 veces .. la medicina es muy cara
I just donated a little for Sweetie. I hope she can forgive us humans for all the pain someone uf us caused her. I just cannot tolerate persons like her abuser!
I will take her!!! All my dogs are rescue dogs…. They know nothing but love!!
WOW, I’m surprised that Dulce is a podenco (female “podenca”?), just like Tom!!!! Either way, here’s hoping her recovery continues – if any money happens to be surplus relative to her, let it then go to Lady!!!
It’s remarkable that Spain seems to be the home for quite a few unique dog-breeds – ah, how I wish its people would treasure both their animals AND their specific breeds (galgos, podencos)!! I’m half-wondering if this abusive streak has something to do with the Moslem (Moorish) influence that Spain had to endure until the Reconquista was complete…
Just beyond belief…..poor wee soul……..thank you for saving her. Donation sent. x
You precious little soul may God bless you and keep you safe, and the monster that did this to you may he rot in hell.
Sweetie you are precious ….I can hardly wait to see your journey!!!! May you only know love and a may a forever home come that will just treat you so special .
This is so sad. I know she’s in good hands now. Poor baby.
Please keep us updated.
I will share this with people on Facebook. I have an idea, let’s find that SOB, and do the same to him/her, then have that person arrested, convicted, and sent to jail FOREVER!
All animals are innocent and should never be treated that way. This is abuse at the highest level!!!
Hey can ubpls tell me where are u from…actually I livevin indore and I adopt pups like sweety…if shebis anywhere near my city I will adopt her…pls reply if possible pls e-mail me.
I would love to love Sweetie if you could get her to me…

Victor I am so excited to see her looking so much better. What a beautiful little girl. I am sending a small donation to help her. I hope you find her a loving home after what she has been through. Keep doing what you are doing Victor you are all they have.
Great to see her fixed 🙂 let’s hope she finds a loving home 🙂 well done Viktor and the team 🙂
What an amazing transformation – with love and care, anything is possible. Blessing to you for saving her. She is a greyhound mix? Hope she gets her forever home very soon.
she’s beautiful!
Viktor. Where do you live? Do you live in Spain or USA. I am alittle confused because you seem to be all over the place. I know you say that you are registered in Mass, US. Just trying to get a clearer picture of how you operate. If I see and hear of any animal in distress in the US, I mean real bad cases who do we call? Email you? Ring you? Sorry just confused here…… I am in the US.
Hi Jassmond… I am based in Spain but we are legally registered in Massachussets.. we rescue all over the world..
She is such a brave and lovely little girl! I would be interested in giving her a permanent home in Scotland where she would receive constant cuddles, care and attention ….does she have a forever home lined up yet?
She looks absolutelly another, just like an another dog – AMAZING RESVUE – thank you all, you do such a great JOB with your hearts!
Please don’t anyone put yourself down for not being able to donate much! Every dollar counts even if its just a dollar.
Victor The dog in the first pic is the same dog as the last picture.. hairy one?
Yep… that´s Sweetie ! 🙂
Victor this the most wonderful news! How exciting for her. I was wondering how she was doing and now she is getting what she deserves. She will finally be happy, fed and loved. She even has a friend to play with. Just wonderful. TY for saving her and giving her a second chance at life. Hugs to you Victor and your team. I am sure Rockett and Lady are happy for her also. I am still so so sorry about what happened. At least those two have each other.
I’ve been keeping Sweetie in my thoughts and prayers. I donated and could not get her first image out of my head. Thank you to the adopting family. Shower her with kisses from me.
I didn’t know she already has been adopted, but so glad for her. I am sharing, unfortunately due to enduring financia problems that is the best I can do. Thank you for saving her and so many others
Yes too doon they put those animals down. When you give them a chance, they will recover!!!! Ik share of course and i will try to send you some money. I love what you do!!!!!!! And i love you…. Xx d
Yipppppeeeeee. Amazing work Ivan. Let’s use this Sweetie as your LAG logo 😀
Thank God for organizations that pull out ALL THE STOPS to rescue & save animals in distress.
I wish I could help, but unfortunately my finances won’t allow me to. But the rescuers and the animals have my prayers.
May God Bless All of You that found her, worked on her, watched over her, and LOVED.HER!
Sweety is Amazing, so resilant. And Loving Still. After all she endured.
You are All Blessings on Our earth…
