Help Dorje Learn That People Can Be Kind

A week ago, Dorje was starving on the streets. Tonight, she will finally go to sleep with a full stomach.

When Soltis Hope Street Dog Rescue found Dorje, starvation had taken an unimaginable toll. She was skeletal, struggling to walk and covered from head to toe in mange, wounds and secondary infections. Her body had begun consuming its own muscle just to survive.

Dorje was terrified. She had learned to fear people so deeply that rescuers spent more than an hour trying to gain her trust before finally bringing her to safety. At the clinic, she was too medically fragile to safely sedate and too frightened to let anyone near her.

But just over a week later, something is changing.

Dorje is walking better. Her skin is beginning to heal. Her body condition is improving. And slowly, she is realizing she doesn’t have to run anymore.

Several times a day, food appears. No one asks anything from her. She can simply eat, rest and heal.

Dorje still has a long road ahead. She needs continued wound care, treatment for mange and infections, careful nutrition, supplements, vaccinations, parasite treatment, deworming and, once she is strong enough, a spay.

Please donate to help Soltis Hope give Dorje everything she needs to recover. Starvation has already taken so much from her. Together, we can give back her health, her strength and, eventually, her trust.

Dorje spent long enough wondering where her next meal would come from. Let’s make sure she never has to wonder again.
