The Story of a Dog Named Baby

Recently a 5 month old female puppy was rescued from the Sunny Supermarket vicinity. The puppy had suffered immensely as it had been heartlessly bounded to the same tight collar since it was a month old. This puppy was strangled by the collar as it eventually grew septic as the skin grew around it. A myriad of complexities ensued as the puppy began to show signs of immense pain and trauma from the wounds dealt by the collar. All attempts to capture the dog, from using a net to trapping it in a cage were in vain.  It consumed the rescue team roughly a month of effort before they could capture it.

Baby was finally darted and captured with the wonderful assistance of Dr.Mary, who is now with WWF in L.Datu as of 19/1. The sacrifice of forgoing sleep, waiting, cajoling, crawling on the ground all finally paid off for the safe rescue of this dog which took planning and teamwork to successfully achieved... a purely ladies rescue event at that!! Baby was at a private clinic  from 19/1 - 11/2; she was spayed on 25/1 ;  and vaccinated on 9/2 and finally discharged on 11/2 to the K9 shelter where she's accompanying another young 5 month old fella, Evander.Both get along like a house on fire - hiding behind huge cardboards but creeping out to steal glances at the crazy bunch of K9 hoodlums outside their enclosure and running back to hide again.

 A huge thank you to each and every individual who were involved in rescuing Baby, may God Bless you.
