It’s been a week since Marcello was rescued, and these are his very first steps after days and days of only laying down. I don’t think I need to add much more—the video speaks for itself.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the people who immediately stepped in to help us cover his first medical bills. This truly feels like a Christmas story, one of those moments that reminds us why we keep going.
We know there are so many others we won’t be able to reach, and that reality is always heavy. But every animal that crosses our path and that we are able to help makes it all worth it. Today, we rejoice in these first steps of Marcello.
We still have a long road ahead, but this… this is a miracle.
I am not editing the video so you can hear what Marcello hears.

Rocky and Oso...
After a week without chemotherapy, both Rocky and Oso, Abuela's dogs were able to see the doctor again and receive another round of chemo. We simply couldn’t find the medication—the supplier in Honduras had an unexpected stop and we went thru hoops to find more at a higher price.
That was stressful because once treatment with vincristine begins, there is a strict protocol that should be followed.

With Rocky, we managed to stay mostly on track. If everything goes well with his last chemo, we will know more on Monday, which is always the visiting day.
With Oso we have at least 2 more chemos to do.
The doctor comes to the house, and I can’t help but smile as I look at their faces. They know exactly what’s happening—and they definitely don’t like being poked.

But the joy of seeing two dogs cleared of TVT, no longer able to infect other females or males, is truly priceless, plus the Abuela's joy.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who helped through the raffle with VillaPaz on West Bay the beautiful beach condo.

Because of you, we were able to help Abuela.
One of my dearest pictures is my mom petting a dog before she passed so helping Abuela has a very special meaning for my heart.
Thank you so much.

And look at him now🥰if you look thru the pictures you can see the transformation.
Thank you to all that donated to pay his vet bills.It was worth it all
Isn't this a great Christmas gift??

Question: what is the diagnostic of Marcello?
Answer: severe malnourishment....translating it it means he was dying of hunger...
I know children die in Africa too of hunger...but what was in plain sight was Marcello slowly wandering looking for food ....how long did it take him to arrive in that condition...months.
It is chilling to know he has no heartworm but hunger disease...
He did put on 2 lbs which is encouraging but he is not out of the bushes yet...
Thank you Katie from Australia❤️🐶and the other friends who are helping us help Marcello.
I refuse to think hunger is a cause of death..

Guava...he is content.When it is not raining he loves to stay on the grass.
Just for today I will be happy says a prayer I read long ago..so just for today Guava is happy and has food, safety and a playmate.
Being paralized in Honduras is a death sentence normally so we try as hard as we can to give him the chance to heal.
I know of several cases that made it so we keep rejoicing over every little movement he makes
