It genuinely saddens me to witness the harsh conditions that certain animals endure.
They not only struggle to find food and safe places to rest, but they also lack a human to provide them with love and care.
Fortunately, there are countless organizations and compassionate individuals committed to rescuing these animals and providing them with a safe haven, freeing them from their fears of harm.
This is the story of a puppy named Mila, whose challenging life got a new beginning thanks to the kindness of a caring human.
Finally Safe
Mila was merely six weeks old when she was discovered and rescued from a ditch.
Upon arrival at the shelter, the staff was uncertain about her survival, but the compassionate humans refused to give up on her.
Poor Mila was completely immobile, only able to whimper plaintively, longing for someone to help her.
The shelter staff prioritized her care by taking her to the vet for continuous support.
The veterinarians performed a comprehensive examination and discovered a parasite infection that was causing Mila’s anemia.
To address her anemia, she received a blood transfusion.
With observed vision issues and coordination problems, the vets inferred that Mila had likely endured some kind of head injury.
Fortunately, Mila proved to be a remarkably resilient puppy who responded well to her treatment, managing her body temperature and even regaining some movement.
After just five days in the veterinary clinic, Mila was placed into a loving home in Maryland to continue her recovery.
Recovery
Experiencing affection for the first time, Mila was determined to fully recuperate.
After merely seven days in her foster home, this little pup even began to walk again!
Along with regular vet appointments, Mila found comfort in her cuddly adoptive dog mom, Sasha, at home.
Two weeks after joining her temporary family, Mila had a checkup with the neurologist that brought fantastic news.
After assessing that Mila experienced damage to the rear right side of her cerebellum (explaining her balance issues) and suspicion of being fully blind in one eye, the neurologist confirmed that this lovely pup could lead a fully functional life.
Fifty days post-rescue, Mila was walking again!
Her new favorite pastime became bouncing around excitedly whenever she was thrilled about something.
Mila’s next challenge was to master eating solid food and picking up items using her mouth. Being clever, she mastered this skill quickly.
New Life
A year after her rescue, Mila achieved an astonishing recovery.
Although she is partially blind and deaf, and experiences some neurological challenges, this determined girl made it clear that nothing would hinder her from enjoying life.
Mila now enjoys her days exploring nature, swimming in pools, and sharing her life with wonderful people who continually remind her of the incredible girl she is.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who played a role in ensuring that Mila can live her dream life. You are all true heroes!
