For the last two weeks we have been forced to put a temporary halt to rescue in order to focus on our ongoing cases and in meeting our obligations with our vets.
Every day we are approached by people requesting urgent assistance, we do our very best to help as many of them as we can, but we have also accepted our limitations and the fact that we can’t possibly attend every case…
But today… today Mini came to us..
Mini is a Chihuahua/Minipin mix, she was absolutely terrified. A burning pain on her leg, snapped in two and dangling from one side to another. We have no idea how it happened.. but we could see the result, a terrible fracture. She was taken to a clinic to be euthanized. There was no way the owner could afford the operation, so they left her to be killed. At that point the vet called us and asked us if we could help.
The truth is, we couldn’t.. we are completely overloaded, but what was the alternative? If we said no she would have been killed. We were her last option. Such is the dilemma we face on a daily basis.
Totally unable to look away from that pleading face, we have taken the case. We will save Mini….
Unfortunately our current constraints have placed us in a position where Mini won’t be able to be operated right away as we usually do. We’ll have to wait until we have managed to raise enough funds for her operation and treatment, otherwise we will again left in a position where debts pile up.
We are going to try to operate her as soon as possible… her injury is stabilized but she’s in obvious discomfort. Please, if you can, contribute to Mini’s surgery and treatment today… Believe me, if we don’t fix this noone is going to do it, and Mini will be either dead or limping for the rest of her life 🙁
As usual we will be updating you of her condition at our Facebook Page: Let’s Adopt! Global
Many many thanks!
Viktor

UPDATE APRIL 27..
Mini was operated yesterday… and oh my, what a difference a day makes!
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment… YOU made this possible…
it was a long day… Mini went to bed…
and this morning… here she was!!! ready to face the world!!!
It will take a few days for Mini to step on that front leg again, but the operation went perfectly and we hope there are no complications…
Voila!!!! Mini was going to be killed because she had a broken leg… we fixed that!!!
This operation and so many others could only happen because of the Let’s Adopt! Simba Fund.. the fund that takes care of all medical procedures treatment expenses of our rescues. The fund nourishes from the small contributions of our friends and Facebook Fans. The majority of those contributions are tiny, but they all make a difference. Should you wish to help and become part of something amazing and inspiring, please help us continue saving dogs like Mini by donating to the Let’s Adopt! Simba fund…
Many thanks!!!
As much as i would love to donate unfortunately at this moment in time i am unable to. I work as a care support worker i have a duty of care to the the people i support, it disgusts me to know that a vet would an animal in discomfort like this poor dog, what happened to thier duty of care for animals what is the point of them being a vet!!!! If it wasn’t for organizations like yourslots more animals would suffer unnecassarly,, i know medications do not come cheap bt what is the problem with them giving a bit of time freely? Why because most vets are greedy and it sucks. Sorry but that is how i feel
Yeah Viktor, this lil’ girl will surely walk again like she did before her accident… Will she be returned to her owner afterwards? Donated a bit as usual… ‘Hope everything goes for the best! Kindest regards from sunny Brussels!
No Joelle… this case is completely different to others. She has no owner any longer..
Can you tell me what the cost is going to be for this??
I will never understand humans…..How can anybody give up their pet? Mini only has a broken leg? I would try to make payments if my cats broke their leg … God forbid….I love my cats to much to give them up for any thing or anyone. Sorry I can’t help….thank you Barbara P
I can only afford a little but every little helps. God bless you all for helping this little girl and all the others, He will provide don’t worry.
Where is MINI from Viktor?
She’s Spanish… such a sweetie Mini…
Hi, my name is Jill Breslauer and I’m a bonifide HATER. I spend my nights hating and my days getting over my hangover of hate. So, Where is this dog located? What vet examined it? Is Mini at the vet? Why can’t I find any financial accountability of your organization on the Internet? Is is private? Why? Why would I want to give my money to an organization that is apparently threatening to have an animal killed if I do not donate? Is that not extortion?? I need to see where the money goes. Thats just plain common sense. Show me where the money goes, please. Thank you. *
*Edited to reflect the true nature of this person. 😉
If you read the blog you will understand that the owner dumped her to be killed.. we rescued her.
Must learn how to read I guess.
You can check the update, and you will see where the money went.. not yours.. you didn’t help, instead just nagged 🙂
How can someone be a bonafide hater? isn’t that an oxymoron?
Anyway… bonafide hater… sigh
Donated 40.00 $ To help fix Her leg please do not put this dog Down ,she deserve’s to live <3
Edward, we don’t put animals down than can be treated. Ever. Yes, she deserves to live! Thank you for your help!
AND PLEASE DO NOT RETURN HER TO THE OWNER’S They left her there to die.Please keep me posted with her Progress. I Know because My Otis Broke his Back Femure when he was just 4 months and Is very expensive , But still no reason to leave her there to die . Unbeleivable !!
Donated as much as I could to save this little girl! Everybody please help!
Viktor, you are such an amazing individual and the animals need you, so keep going and the money will follow. I am a devoted fan and hope my small donation of $20 helps you save another animal from a life of pain. Thank you for all you do! With admiration and respect, Nancy.
What is the costs and where is she located. I do a lot of volunteer work and pro bono PR for animal societies and I might know a facility that might help with the costs or I might want to adopt her.
I would love to adopt MINI! Where are you located? I have a marvelous Vet. Dr.David Mullins. I’m in Burnside ky. Please reply.
Donated $50.00 towards her care
Can only donate 10.00 at this moment. May God bless you and thanx for helping all these precious animals.
If i could help i would but right now i can’t and that poor babysitter little face breaks my heart least until the operation she will be on painkiller right? an will get lots of love from u guys
Babys *** dam phone lol
WHERE is this? I am very soft hearted and donate to a lot of animal causes, but I want to know WHERE and how legal this solicitation is? How do we know that she is still alive ???
Sherry, we operate globally, but she’s specifically in Spain. Our corporate office is in Massachusetts, USA with satelites in many other countries. You know she’s alive because we have posted her most recent pictures. Short of that we’re not sure how else to prove it to you. You can visit her personally in Spain if you’d like. Let us know and we’ll arrange that. 🙂
so Jill – cant read? just complain and throw assertions around? they didn’t threaten to kill, never do – they usually go ahead with the op before all the funds are raised so the furry friend doesn’t suffer needlessly as was the case here- i think you need to remove your ignorant and quite stupid post – unless you want everyone to see how clueless you are 🙂
Gemma – its all been fixed LAG don’t wait unnecessarily 🙂 great job guys – what a little sweetie 🙂
Thank you for helping this little on, gave what I had to spare and prayers for her quick and complete recovery…. and successful homing. May she live and long and very happy life because of all of you who care when others turn away. God bless you abundantly xxx
Hi Jill, wonderful to see you could manage to tear yourself away from the hate pages and read the blog. Or no, you did not read. Just came to show your true colors. Again, thank you very much. Bye!
Let me take the opportunity to truly thank all the others, for their support and help. It’s very much appreciated.
She is beautiful!
Very Nice to see , So happy for her !!! 🙂
Do you have a home for her yet?
Yes, Judy, she has been adopted! 🙂 But we have a couple of other small dogs that also need homes. Are you interested in adopting? If so, please email adopt@letsadoptusa.org.
Happy to see Mini standing without a brace.She’s beautiful enough I’m sure she’ll be adopted quickly.Thank you and God bless you and your team Barbara P
