The cruelty continues in Croatia but our guys are there helping one animal at a time

This young dog is called Alex. Only 11 months of age and he has been through so very much.

Yesterday our guys in Belimanister rescued this poor boy from the side of the highway, another hit and run victim. Just something for the abusers to aim at when they are driving along the road.






When Dr M ( Miro our wonderful vet in Belimanister)  began to examine him the absolute horror of his life become apparent.

The deep infected gash under his neck was from a thick leather strap that would have been put on him when only a small puppy. Left there to cut into his flesh, to fester untreated. 





If he had dared to try and tell his master how much pain he was in, what was wrong with him, he would have been beaten down, so Alex would have suffered in agony for months and months. Whilst he was tied up his owner would take pot shots at him with an air rifle, one such pellet was found in his scrotum. How could Alex get away, he was only a small pup, forced to endure being tortured 





As Alex grew thankfully the leather broke and he was able to escape. However this is Croatia, nothing is that simple and no happy endings for the majority of animals happen here. As Alex ran, terrified of what he was running from and not knowing the world around him as had been tied up since a small pup, he was mowed down by a car and left for dead by the side of the road in freezing and icy cold tarmac.





Belimanister guys were called and unlike many in Croatia or in fact most countries in Europe, Miro and his team refused to give up on him, yes the the shelter is full and would have been easier to pts. But no, not these guys, they set to work, to do what they could and saved this poor boy. 







Miro and the amazing Belimanister guys have done there bit, he will make a full recovery . 

Such a gentle sweet boy who has gone through hell and back now.....we need to do our part and find him a safe loving home where he will NEVER know torture or mans cruelty again





Alex is now recovering well, because of the extent of his injuries we have decided to send Alex to the dislocated shelter that we support as he can receive more one to one care and less risk of infection there than in the main shelter with the other death row dogs. 

If you are able to support our work in Croatia please do consider donating towards the costs involved
