It genuinely saddens me to observe the circumstances in which certain animals are compelled to exist.
Not only are they forced to scavenge for leftovers to survive or seek out shelters to rest at night, but they similarly lack a human to provide them with affection and gratitude.
Fortunately, there are countless organizations and individuals who devote their lives to rescuing such animals, transporting them to safe places so they can finally stop worrying about any dangers threatening them.
This is precisely what occurred with a puppy named Mila, who endured a tough existence that was dramatically altered when a compassionate human extended a helping hand.
Finally Safe
Mila was merely six weeks old when she was rescued from a drainage ditch.
Upon her arrival at the shelter, the staff was uncertain about her chances of survival.
Nevertheless, these remarkable individuals did not lose hope for her.
Poor Mila could not move her body whatsoever. All she could do was weep earnestly, longing for someone to assist her.
The shelter personnel decided to transport her to the veterinarian for continuous care.
The veterinarians promptly conducted a comprehensive examination and discovered a parasitic infestation which was causing little Mila to become anemic.
To address her anemia, she underwent a blood transfusion.
Due to her difficulties with vision as well as coordination, the vets theorized that this unfortunate puppy had experienced some form of head injury.
Fortunately, Mila is a resilient puppy who was responding positively to her treatment, stabilizing her body temperature, and gradually beginning to move again.
After just five days at the vet, Mila was moved to a genuine home in Maryland for her proper recovery.
Recovery
Finally experiencing the sensation of being cherished, Mila was committed to achieving a full recovery.
In only seven days at her foster home in Maryland, this little pup was even beginning to walk again!
Though she consistently attended her vet appointments, Mila also had a affectionate caretaker at home – her adoptive dog mother, Sasha.
Two weeks after joining her temporary family, Mila had an appointment with the neurologist who delivered some remarkably positive news.
After confirming that Mila suffered some damage to the back right portion of her cerebellum (the cause behind her balance issues) and that she was likely entirely blind in one eye, the neurologist expressed that this lovely girl could lead a fully functional life.
Fifty days following her rescue, little Mila regained her ability to walk!
Her new favorite pastime is jumping around excitedly, especially when something catches her interest.
Mila’s new challenge was mastering how to consume solid food and fetch items with her mouth. Being an incredibly clever girl, she mastered this skill rapidly.
New Life
One year after her rescue, Mila achieved a remarkable recovery.
Even though she is partially blind and deaf, and has some neurological challenges, this determined girl resolved that nothing would hinder her from enjoying life.
Mila now spends her days exploring nature, swimming in pools, and living with the most amazing people who continuously affirm her that she is an extraordinary girl.
Gratitude to every human who played a role in ensuring that this girl experiences the life of her dreams. You all are genuine heroes!
