This is Genny, a gentle and kind Dobermann Pinscher who believes is a lap dog.
Tonight Genny is desperately fighting to win a battle against a most cruel disease, canine distemper.
Genny was rescued from a factory in Izmir where she was living in terrible conditions. Her rescuer found a person in Facebook willing to adopt her and sent her to Istanbul. The rescuer made two mistakes:
1. Genny was not vaccinated.
2. He sent the dog to Songul Kotuklan, an individual who had recently lost a dog and simply went onto the internet to get another one.
The moment I heard the dog had gone to that person I immediately drove to her place and rescued her. Driving to Kotuklan’s home in an industrial suburb of Istanbul probably saved her life. Genny was placed on one of our safe houses.
Yesterday we received the most terrible news. Genny is very ill and has tested positive for canine distemper.
Genny is very lucky, she has had a very early diagnosis and she is currently being treated by the best vets in Istanbul using the most advanced medication available. We are hopeful she will survive this test, but at the moment her situation is critical. Furthermore, we are bracing ourselves for an even bigger problem and we are closely monitoring those dogs Genny has come in contact during the last two weeks. We are confident we will be able to treat any case from the moment they show the first symptoms.
This will be either a nightmare or yet another of Let’s Adopt! success stories…
For now I need to kindly request your help towards Genny’s veterinary treatment and towards our emergency fund. When Let’s Adopt! was created it was our intention to be able to function without having to rely on any of our member’s support, unfortunately peoples incredible irresponsibility has taken our personal capabilities to the limit.
This is one more of those cases.
So here is Genny. Help her please.

GGOD LUCK GENNY…….. TU ES BELLE………….
I’m pulling for you Jenny….and all your doggy friends you’ve recently met. So sad when this could have been easily prevented!
Thank you Let’s Adopt and Viktor.
When I rescued my 4 month old lab mix they told me he had a cold, and he had a slight temp and pus in his eyes and nose. I took him to the vet and he discovered he had distemper, not a cold. As long as Genny has not reached the tremor state she has a 99.9% chance of living, more than a lot of us do ;D If these vets know how to handle it then there is no need to worry, it is not an irreversable disease. Keep your hopes and prayers for her up, she will be fine, my lab is still with me and he’s going on 11 yrs. now, hard to believe! Good luck to her, and God bless you all for caring, I am of the belief that every life counts, no matter where in the world these angels may be. Please take care, all of you!
Your friend Ceci
God bless her. I had a doberman years ago. Such a gentle creature
Prayers and fingers crossed for Genny. Where is the Chip-in for her? Thank you for getting her out of a situation where she would have had not hope at all.

Victor, are you creating a chip-in for Genny?
Thank you for helping this poor girl and all the others. Hoping that she pulls through and that no one else was infected.
Please contact Viktor@myletsadopt.com directly for a valid PayPal address, which will get the funds towards Genny’s care immediately.
We’re unfortunately dealing with nationalist Turks, who’d like nothing more than destroy our work in Turkey, because we shine a light on their dirty little secrets. Completely missing the point of saving an animal’s life.
Be assured that every single penny will go towards Genny’s care. We’ll be posting progress reports and receipts as they become available.
Please help.
One correspondence,
one click via PayPal.
For Genny!
Thanks!
