Thousands of dogs die every day due to the terrible conditions they are exposed to. They are at the mercy of the streets and unable to find a permanent home or even a place to hide. A street dog named Mila is abandoned on the street and no one helps her. He was already very anemic and his legs could no longer support him. It seemed like a lost cause until a man came along and decided that today was not the day for her to die…

Mila was found sick and anemic on the street.

Esdras Andrade is a man who has volunteered to save street animals since he was 13 years old. When he got the call about Mila, he immediately arrived at the scene and decided to help her. street man and dog

At the time, Mila was suffering from severe malnutrition, disease and anemia. First, he was very depressed and afraid of people, but he did not have the strength to run away. She offered herself to Esdras, not knowing that he would be the first person she felt for!

Regaining her trust was not an easy process

Despite being left in such horrendous conditions, there is still a long way to go before faith in humanity can be restored.

When he first entered the hideout, he was very shy and didn’t show much of his personality. But one thing was clear. He was a loving puppy who craved love and affection!

Ezra decided to take off his dirty coat and give Mila a bath, probably for the first time in his life!

Surprisingly, she didn’t complain at all when he put her in the tub and started bathing her. Rather, he felt relieved and relaxed for the first time in a long time.

“Mila is feeling much better. For the first time she was bathed, the shower gel made her skin so much softer and scented. The friendliness and gentleness are what we feel from Mila.”

Waiting For A New Home

After only a week of being in a new, nurturing environment, Mila has already started feeling so much better. She wasn’t even as scared as she was the first time Esdras brought her.

She started eating better, moving around the house, and exploring her new shelter with her sweet, enthusiastic nose. A beautiful, gentle temperament underneath her sad eyes evolved, making Mila an affectionate and pleasant companion.

From now on, she’s ready to meet her new family and begin a beautiful journey as a family dog. And, we really hope she finds it!
