 Toby - Innsbruck, AustriaToby was left blind due to a trauma to the head. He was super scared of anyone touching him. It took months to gain his confidence or let anyone touch him. He found his loving home in Innsbruck and is no longer scared of people. |  Molly - New Orleans, USAMolly along with 10 other dogs was dumped by the local authorities in the mountains to die of starvation. We were alerted to this situation and picked up Molly and the others. She gave birth to puppies a day after she was brought to safety. She was too weak herself to care for her pups. All her pups died. We've nursed her back to good health and now living with her adoptive family being treated with love and all the care she needs. |  Rufus - Sammamish, USARufus had a miserable existence. He was suffering from severe mange, barely getting any food and got shot in the leg because people didn't want him around. We wanted to put an end to his suffering and took him under our wings and transformed that scabies covered dog to a handsome gentle boy. He now lives an amazing life, camping, going to the beach exploring new places and charms anyone who meets him. We are still told that he is the best dog anyone can ever wish for. |

 Leo - New York, USALeo was spotted during our feeding round. His face was covered in what looked like a massive infection that was left untreated for weeks, possibly months. He was taken to the nearest vet for treatment and he stayed at the clinic for weeks before he was better and you could start to see the side of his face. He has been so resilient and was determined to get better. He cuddled his way to New York and found an amazing family of his own. |  Daisy - San Francisco, USADaisy and her three other siblings were dumped in the streets.

Despite all the setbacks, she's now safe, happy and her daddies absolutely adore her. |  Babu - New York, USABabu was hit by a car left on the side of the road for days with her injuries. When we picked her up, she was in a right mess. It's a miracle that she survived, but lost both of her eyes.

They were only supposed to do the airport pick up not to keep the cat! Babu's humans absolutely love her to bits. |  Casper - Toronto, CanadaCasper was picked in the street during one of our spay and neuter projects. We've noticed one of his eyes was covered in blood.

It's hard not to fall in love with Oscar. |  Lola - Istanbul, TurkeyLola was at a shelter, left there with an eye infection and all very dirty as she was covered in asphalt in roadworks.
