These are the journeys behind the dogs in our care: abandoned puppies, street rescues, recoveries, and mothers who still need a home.

Rescue story

Lola

Lola was found on the street, alone and frightened. She is also blind in one eye, which left her especially vulnerable outdoors.

Despite everything she has been through, she is incredibly gentle, loves to cuddle, and longs for affection. She is safe now and still needs veterinary care.

Darko, a five-month-old rescue puppy

He is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle, play, and discover the world. He can still be a little timid, and he will grow with time, trust, and love.
