❗Artemisa update!! ⚠️
How is Artemisa?? 🤔
Finally has Artemisa come out of the local vet!
The amazing vets at @clinicavetitlangt were able to clean her wound out immensely and give her proper high level antibiotic treatment!
We just paid the full bill of all of this hard work! Despite the large amount of time and energy they have put in, they are not confident they are the experts to do a perfect skin grafting operation on this high level need dog. ❗
We have the specialist confirmed tomorrow! ✅⚕️We leave at 4:00 a.m. 🌞 and we'll get her all the way to the city. We will let you know how she does, in transit and at the hospital, and what we learn from there. 🥹👏
Thank you for your donations, so far artemisa's bill has been totally covered 👌✅ for this first part, but now the biggest operation comes next! A humongous appreciation to everyone who donated because artemisa has come really far already thanks to your help. 😁🙏💪🐶
🚨Artemisa is in trouble! 😵💫
🔴 In a very horrible freak accident, Artemisa has been attacked by a pack of dogs!
🟠 We explain in the video how this happened, but Artemisa is currently at the vet under intensive care, but needs to go to a specialist! 😲
🟡 This is very reminiscent of the Milagro incident, where we have a dog with such severe injuries our local vets are not capable of solving her issue. We need the city specialists! ⚕️🧑⚕️🐶
🟢 The same challenges from them are the same now. We need to find
1. A private driver who can take her in a way where her injuries will not be bothered.
2. An estimation of time, cost, and capability for her to heal.
3. The specialist to agree to take on the job!
🔵 As well, the sooner we can do this the better. The wound may not be able to properly heal in the environment of the veterinarians care unit. They need even stronger support to properly heal and save her life.

Volunteering & Adopting! 👍⭐
🔴 Two big topics, we are constantly seeking volunteers and owners to adopt dogs. Here we list a bunch of dogs that are ready for adoption, showing them after coming in from a nice group walk and feed.
🟠 Also, what is it like to volunteer here? Here you can see a little snippet of the reality of volunteering at the dog sanctuary.
🟢 Lastly, we can get dogs taken all the way to the United states! 🇺🇸🐶✅ This is a plan in the works and if you are curious about it feel free to send us a message.
Thanks and have a great day!

How is Mr. Fuzz? ⭕🐶
Well, not so good. Mr. Fuzz has passed away this morning, as of 09:00 am on this 8th of November.
✝️🐶😭
This is very hard for all of us, but it is a part of the rescue life.
Thank you to everyone who donated for him, his vet bill was covered and your extra donations will allow us to cover another puppies (Artemisa's) medical bills as she got into a nasty scuffle yesterday as well.
We also have a new puppy that literally came today, weirdly on time to soften the blow of the loss of Mr. Fuzz. 😔💔 You can see the new puppy on the cover and in the video. 🐶🎥
Thanks for those who supported us and continue to do so for our efforts and for the dogs in our care.
Mr. Fuzzers is ill 😥
We don't know what's going to happen with him, he got very sick just in the night last night. When we noticed his energy was down we gave fresh water and chicken. He ate VIGOROUSLY and we were really happy with his energy increase.
We found this morning he threw it all up and has diarreah. The symptoms are VERY reminiscent of Parvovirus (like Bugsy had).
Bugsy DID survive but she seemed in a much stronger position than Mr. fuzz.
We are at the vet now and he is getting "suero" or injections for hydration and medicine. 🩺💊🧑⚕️
Please send prayers for Mr. fuzzers. 🙏❤️✝️
We love him so much. 🥺

Puppy vlog! 🐕📹😉
Taking care of puppies in a rescue is a lot of work. Even though we have been over capacity, we had no choice but to take in these puppies from Town center, lest they fall into ruin.
In one of our spare volunteer houses we've kept as many as four of them, with a few of them getting out almost daily, because they are in our extra space which is not connected to the main dog sanctuary. Sometimes these puppies get in trouble!
This puppy snuck out and must have ripped a hole in its skin from a barbed wire fence. Puppies are always trying to get in and out of fences and this is very common, and the fences are designed to hurt animals so that they learn not to cross their borders.
With puppies injury we have been treating her and taking care of her, we called the vets (plural) today and not a single vet would agree to see this puppy today. So we had to take matters into our own hands!
Puppies doing better by the minute, and finally ate some cooked chicken today which really perked all of us up as puppies health is improving.
We will see who can help us take care of this puppy and perhaps get its open wound stitched, or whatever may be necessary for her.
Thanks for watching, have a great night! 😊

Short on dry food! 😧🥩🐕🐕🦺
Because of the recent holiday dia de los muertos, all the stores in our town have been closed the last few days. We've been waiting anxiously for the stores to have dry food to re-up the sanctuaries dry food storage.
Because of the recent shortage, we've been needing to use alternate foods the last 3 days. This is NOT 🚫 our desired food amount and is below the required needs the dogs have.
However: good news! 🗞️
We reached out on the internet to find a nice group of people who are bringing dog food from Antigua all the way to our little Tzununa. I haven't heard back from them for the last few hours but hopefully that means they are in transit on the way 😬🤞
Either way: we managed to give our dogs lots of raw meat, chicharrones, papaya, milk, and all kinds of little things to help appease their appetite. But now the dry food is needed more than ever! Hopefully it comes soon, but even if not the stores should have the dry food early tomorrow Monday morning.
That's the update for today, hope everyone has a great night: and don't worry, our doggies are doing great! Have a great night 😁🙏✨

Husky's day out!! 🐕🦺😁🛺
Here we have a lovely day walking Linda and four other off leash dogs. Linda is in training to be off leash like the rest of them, but being a husky which is a working type dog, they need extra high levels of attention, training, consistency, and love! ❣️
Watch the video to see how we trained her to follow us in a tuk-tuk, behave in public off leash, and the process of working with a group of dogs.
Linda is up for adoption or fostering, and also does not have a sponsor. If you'd like to be Linda's digital adopter or sponsor, please send us a DM. Thank you and have a great evening.

Pupdate! 🐕🗞️❗
The group of four puppies, that has slowly grown since we found each one, are doing very well right now. 💫🙏
🔴 Just days ago they were missing a lot of fur and covered in fleas and ticks, as well as showing signs of being very hungry since we found them crawling around looking for food in a garbage pile. 🗑️🐕🌭
🟡 The puppy with the injuries improving, who you can see clear in the video and how the wound is healing. ✅
🟢 Lastly, we received your generous donations from my request in the last two days. You guys have allowed us to be able to withdraw cash from the ATM again so we can get all the dog food and human food necessary to continue right now. 🙏✅
🟣 THANK YOU everyone so much for your continued support. Thank you for the new friends and followers, and stay tuned to follow the story of the puppies! Have a great day. 😊🙏🟢
