Hope was named because it was hard to imagine a dog that needed hope in her life more.
She was dumped (thrown) into our grounds on the Serbian Christmas Eve in 2020.
She was starved, full of parasites and disease, and utterly terrified.
Once she was able to see a vet they confirmed that not only was she suffering from severe neglect and abuse, she'd had her ears cropped in the most barbaric way, unlikely to have been done by a vet.
Eventually she also tested positive for heartworm which involved a long treatment process but sadly she's never really regained enough confidence and trust in humans for us to home her. She would need an exceptional adopter to understand all of this but at the age of 9 we feel her moment has passed.
