When he saw us, he was a little shy but he wagged his tail as if he understood we were there to save him. Without starting a discussion with the owner, we took the dog away and we decided to call him Mickey.
Mickey was taken to the vet immediately and other than being severely neglected an emaciated, he did not have major health issues. He was estimated only 6 months to 1 year old and we felt horrible that he had been through so much already at this young age.
Fortunately, the next day we found an amazing foster for him. This family opened up their home so Mickey could have a safe place to recover, while being around other dogs. Being a little shy at first, he soon understood it is ok to walk around freely and to be inside the house. He joined the other dogs in their routines by sleeping on the bed and playing on the couch.
Mickey’s skin also improved and at one point, we just knew he was ready to go to his forever home. We found an amazing forever home for him and Mickey is really living a great life now! We are so proud he did not lose his faith in humans and that he is such a great companion!
Feed Friends Foundation aims to help stray dogs in Curacao by using the TNR (Trap Neuter Return) program combined with including them in a feeding program, which means that they are cared for on a daily basis by volunteers. They also save dogs like Mickey and find loving forever homes for them.
