James was born in Nepal and was treated well as a puppy. Life was good in a home where his family gave him love and food. When he grew older, James was tied up in an alley with the garbage all day and night. Every time he broke away, he ran home. And every time, he was retied until eventually he was beaten up and bloodied, left to die.
Lucy's Story Lucy, a Border Collie/Beagle, is one of two Greek dogs who were rescued in June 2019 and given a second chance with a new home in the U.S. Her story is tragic. She lived her early life at the end of a short chain, often beaten, rarely fed and never touched by humans. When she became a mother, her puppies were collected and they were all dumped in a remote area.All of the puppies except for one died; and sadly, Lucy returned to her abusive and neglectful home (the only place she knew) where she was chained again along with her puppy who survived. She continued to endure the same life until an animal welfare advocate rescued her and her puppy. A New Home After Years Living in a Shelter Lucy lived at the animal shelter for more than six years, spending over half her life in a small kennel waiting for adoption. The quiet and sweet girl with beautiful eyes begged to be rescued. At 10 years old, Lucy was adopted through the work of Humanitourism and placed in a loving home. Now she will have the human attention and care she deserves. Share this post with…
Feta is our second Greek dog who was adopted in June 2019 after living in a shelter for three years. She was found on the streets with a metal rod sticking out of her leg. After Feta was injured by a car, she had a poorly placed pin in her broken leg and was abandoned.
Coyote is a two-year old Spitz dog who was injured by a car and languished on the side of the road for more than a week. He was paralyzed and left with a portion of one of his rear legs severed off in the grisly accident.
Zana is a young female Doberman/ Whippet mix who was rescued during our Humanitourism tour to Manzanillo, Mexico in March 2019. She was born with a birth defect in her front legs. Although it did not affect her ability to walk, run or play, she was cast out into the streets.
Little Ellie was hit by a car in Mexico and left paralyzed in her rear legs. She dragged herself around for over two weeks before someone helped her. The tops of her feet and legs suffered so much abrasion that the small bones in her feet were scraped off.
