On 15 September 2022, we received reports of a poor blind older dog that was seen hit by a car. People in the area tied her to a gate so she wouldn't wander into the road again and left her food and water. We put out an appeal to find her owner but no one stepped up, and then it began to rain heavily.

Given her health conditions she was likely dumped on the street as some people do, which is illegal but commonplace in the Philippines.
She is now at the Sanctuary and as with all our rescues we are now committed to care for her for the rest of her life and shoulder all the expenses that will entail.

We did all the usual initial tests, distemper, blood tests, 4dx parasite tests and she tested positive for Ehrlichia and Anaplasma.  She also has cancer (tvt) in her vagina, to add to her blindness, which may be treatable with a stem cell medication. She will need chemo and extensive treatment for her illnesses plus she has a fractured leg. Despite all this she is super friendly and comfortable around people, another indication she had an owner.
