Hazels and her six puppies were about to get poisoned by their owner and saved just in time.
She wouldn't let us touch her for weeks, but finally turned into a happy and loving dog with VERY lively puppies!😉🐶
Thanks for helping us to help dogs like them and turn their world around to the better!❤

Another memorable rescue took place when we got a call about an injured dog by the main road. Little did we know, that from the meeting point with Kia's rescuers, we would be led into to the countryside for quite some time before being led through a maize field in the middle of nowhere. 🙈
But eventually Kia's little head popped up and there was this sweet little pup, not being able to get up by himself. To say he was lucky to be found there was an understatement and we want to say a huge thank you to his rescuers for calling us and leading us there. Not a lot of people would have gone through that trouble! ❤️
Kia went back with us to our clinic where we found that his hip was broken. The past 6 weeks he had to be on strict kennel rest in order to fully heal. 🏥
Yesterday he got to go on his very first walk and make some new friends 🐶🥰
He still has to take it slow for a little longer but he is recovering well and is simply a very sweet and loving dog. ❤️

Meet Ilo, one of the bravest dogs we have met. 🐶
A few weeks ago we got a call about a Dog that was hit on a highway. Whoever hit him did not bother to stop and just left him there. But he was found by some good hearted people who called us. ❤️
When we arrived we found him with a blanket and food. He was very scared, in a lot of pain and obviously confused about what was happening. It took quite a while to get him in the car but no one gave up to make sure he got to safety. 🏡
Once at the Rescue his demeanor had already changed and he accepted our help. Ilo is such a friendly and sweet boy! He got a check up which found that both his front legs are broken and received two surgeries from our amazing clinic team that was determent to save his legs. We are confident that at least one will make a full recovery but only time will tell.
For now he is making great progress and is so unbelievably patient being stuck on kennel rest for most of his days.
We have quite the gang hanging out in front of the clinic these days and Ilo fits right in. Let's keep our fingers crossed, that we will see him running one day soon 🥰

Our wonderful volunteer Sara told us about Eliott and after seeing pictures of his leg, there was no question about bringing him to the Gongo Centre 🏥
His leg was broken at the ankle and twisted in a way beyond repair. In other parts of the world this might have been fixed with plates and screws, but here in Tanzania we do not have the means for those kind of surgeries. So, the leg had to be amputated.
Before the surgery, Eliott barely wanted to move and even though we were aware that he must have been in quite some pain, we assumed he was just a mellow dog.
But once the leg and the pain were gone, Eliott wanted to move and explore and shoved us what a happy dog he is ❤️
However, having grown up on the street, Eliott was not a fan of the shelter environment. So, we got in touch with people from the community where he used to live and they assured us that they would look after him. He is very loved there and besides the leg, he was in great condition when he first came. 🐕
Now, Eliott is back home and as you can see, he could not wait to get out of the Guta and back to his familiar environment 🏡

🐶Our wonder child Lemmi ❤️
Not even two weeks ago Lemmi was brought to us, his eyes severely damaged. Judging from the injuries, we think someone had taken a sharp object to his eyes 😔 How someone can be so cruel is absolutely beyond us and leaves us angry!
But Lemmi oh Lemmi, you just don't have a mean bone in your body. The way he immediately started to trust us was such a privilege! Not for one second did we have the impression, that he was feeling sorry for himself. 🥰
Immediately after his eyes and the pain were gone, he started exploring in his own way. He mastered the stairs on his second day and from then on he just crossed one huge milestone after the other. 🙌
A few days later we took him on his first walk, a week later he jumps over every water crossing...
Not only is Lemmi an inspiration, he's also very adoptable! He adjust to his surroundings so quickly and he has SO much love to give ❤️
Thank you for being you Lemmi! You have brought us so many moments of joy already and we can't wait to see you bloom even further 🌸

Meet our beautiful new resident Donna ❤️
She was hit by a motorbike a couple of weeks ago and has since been left paralized. Where she used to live on the street, she was fairly well looked after. However, for a paralized dog, life on the street is next to impossible. She used to have an owner but they abandoned her a long time ago. 😔
So, we went out an got her and found her spine to be broken. Thankfully, it does not cause her pain and she will become part of our beloved resident pack. 🏡
She also has a huge wound on her backside from dragging her legs along the streets. It will take weeks to month to heal, but we have experience with these kind of wounds from our other paralized doggos.🩺
We are training with her daily, to built the muscles in her shoulders and front legs. Once she is strong enough, she can enjoy the benefits of a wheelchair.
Donna is the absolute sweetest soul, so very gentle and thankful. All she wants are cuddles and lying in the sun in front of our kitchen. She loves having people around and is simply an adorable dog.😍
We can't wait to show her a life full of love and safety 🥰🐕
Donna is looking for a sponsor ❤️

Thank you Anna, for your generous Donation! ❤️
When Anna came to our shelter, she bought a bunch of dog food but even then still had some donation money over. So we asked her if she would be okay with us spending that money on a fence for Zabron's and Rombo's area.
So, we got started right away 💪 This was long overdue to improve especially Zabron's quality of life and we could not be happier with the results 🥰
