Cecilia is a 10-year-old Mixed Breed Dog in Bend, OR, who needs $553 for Infection, Liver, and Scabies Treatments.

Cecilia is a senior dog who has lived in a shelter in rural Guatemala for several years.
She, like the other dogs and cats at the shelter, was rescued from the streets. The shelter is looking for a home for all the animals that live there, but unfortunately it did not find one for Cecilia. There she has a roof, water and food.

Cecilia shared a cage with other dogs her age for several years; Little by little, these were dying, so she joined another pack made up of two younger dogs. She adapted very well and they respect her. Like every senior dog, she's calm. Since she has lived in a shelter, she is not used to being loving; however, let them stroke her head.

She, like all rescued animals, is special because she is a survivor. She was born and lived in difficult conditions, on a street, without taking the care that is required. She probably had to forage for food since she was little and maybe someone mistreated her while doing it. She was fortunate enough to arrive at a shelter where she has lived for years.

Shelter staff observed that Cecilia began to lose weight, despite the fact that she did eat. They dewormed her, but this did not help. Therefore, a volunteer took her to a veterinary clinic to be evaluated. The blood test revealed anemia and an infection. Liver damage was also observed. Skin examination showed scabies.

Cecilia lives in an overcrowded shelter with limited resources. People Saving Animals supports the shelter by taking sick dogs and cats to the vet and then takes care of finding financial support to pay the bill.
