Blanquita's story is sad... On December 21, 2017, someone spotted a dog on a chain in a yard. The dog had a mast cell tumor which had become very big and the person who had seen the dog offered to seek help for her, since her owners could not afford the operation. Feed Friends Foundation offered to help by covering the costs.
When Blanquita was picked up for her first checkup at the vet on January 12, 2018, the owners said they did not want her back. This was not what was agreed upon so after the visit to the vet, Blanquita went back home. She could not be operated at that moment because she had tick disease and needed medication. After 3 weeks she could go back again for another checkup to see if she was ready for the operation. Then something awful happened...
Blanquita's owners decided to dump her... in a remote location, next to a pile of trash and a dead dog that was already dumped there some time before. Blanquita was found by someone walking in the area and when the vet's assistant saw the photo on Facebook, she immediately knew it was Blanquita! No longer wanted, her owners decided to get rid of her. The vet's assistant went out of her way and picked her up at the location were she was dumped. Together with so many other people, we were able to find an amazing foster for her who went to pick her up at the vet's office.
Finally, Blanquita got the chance to experience life without a chain, surrounded by loving people. It turned out that she was not given her medication so that needed to be done before she could be operated. After a couple of weeks, she was physically doing better and already gained some weight so she was now ready for her operation. thankfully, it went very well and Blanquita soon recovered.
She needed to get used to being around other dogs, which went very well. Her only challenge was food... she must have been hungry in her life and she wanted her food all to herself. After some training, she improved a lot and she now is a great loving dog who loves to go for walks and enjoys attention from her foster parents. They even decided that Blanquita can stay with them! She is doing so well now and we are happy to have been able to provide Blanquita with a second chance at life thanks to your donations. Blanquita is living life to the fullest!
