Howl of a Dog, a rescue organization in Romania, got a call from a very concerned woman reporting about a dog who was abandoned in the middle of winter in Romania. The woman found the dog on the field and made her a temporary warm shelter in a house under construction.
When she was found, the poor dog was so emaciated she appeared to be starving to death. She could barely stand up and was too weak to even eat. She was estimated to be around eight years old.
From the looks of her, the dog seemed to have been used for breeding. She had all the telltale signs like sagging folds of skin on her mammary glands. She was most probably abandoned after being used and losing her worth. Rescuers named her Doris.
Rescuers took Doris to the vet, where she was diagnosed with a severe uterine infection and immediately needed spay operation. She also suffered from a two-centimeter tumor inside her right ear flap and dysfunctional kidneys. The road to a full recovery was long, but at least, Doris was in better hands now.
Despite everything she experiences, Doris was still a wonderful, gentle, well-behaved, and loving senior dog. Doris still loved people and was a great fighter. Her drive to live and become stronger was incomparable.
Slowly Doris gained her strength and life back. She was able to recover from her health issues with pure power and trust. Bit by bit, her bright, gentle, and fantastic personality shone through. It seems that all she ever needed was a chance to be more than just a mom for puppies.
Doris is still waiting for a family to show her bright and loving self. She deserves to have a lovely home to spend happy days with just as a family deserves a loving dog like Doris.
