Truffle, small, round and black… you have to admit it’s a great name for this baby…
Truffle arrived to us yesterday with a broken back. It was an emergency, the dog had been run over by a car. The driver run away, leaving behind this poor baby whimpering and unable to move.
Truffle came to us in a terrible state, paralyzed from waste down and having lost her ability to poo and/or pee.
The Xrays showed the true extent of her condition. Just have a look, you don’t have a doctor to understand the trouble here…
Let me be honest. I’m overwhelmed. The rescue of Tidus and dealing with the logistics of all our cases around the world has got me completely drained and in bad need of a break. But we couldn’t leave Truffle behind. Before she came to us she had seen other vets who immediately suggested euthanasia. The operation would be difficult, expensive, and there are very few surgeons able to do it right.. The rescuer was devastated and then.. luckily for Trufa, she found us.
I believe we can fix Truffle. We have done it before, with your help we will do it again. Look at the injury. The easy way out is to kill her, the right thing to do is provide her with the necessary help.
It’s a gamble, there are no guarantees that it’s going to work, but I have the gut feeling that it will. I believe so because I’m an optimist, and because time and time and time again animals buy xanax bangkok prove us that they will fight like no human would. Humans give up. Animals don’t. They cling to life until their last breath, we are here to make sure this last breath doesn’t come any time soon for Truffle.
Please, if you can, give us a hand covering the costs of this surgery. There is no time to waste. Truffle has been stabilized and the operation will take place tomorrow morning, I hate to present this sense of urgency but with every minute that passes her chances or recovery become less and less likely… .so, we are in a race against time here.
Please, if you can, contribute to her Chipin here.

As ever, many thanks.. I will be updating this blog periodically and show you Truffle’s progress…

feel so sorry I can’t send anythıng. ı have no credıt card to do it. posted this blog to several groups about Dogs, they deleted it. i guess they only share sweet puppy pictures :(((
I have a question, I donate monthly to some animal shelters. Is there a way to donate monthly to Let’s adopt global?
Hi Nelda…
Many thanks for your question.. No, we don’t have such a system in place. I guess in the new year we will have a standing order donation system but so far we didn’t have the chance to set it up. My suggestion is for you to follow us on FB and whenever you see a project/rescue that you would like to be part of please help that one at will, I will personally keep you posted on how things are going..
Many thanks for being there for us.
