Bend, OR • People Saving Animals

Princesa is a homeless dog. She was rescued from the streets of Guatemala months before. People who rescued her took her to a shelter, where she receives food and has a place to sleep. She also has the opportunity to share with other dogs. Princesa is a calm dog and shares with other dogs. When she goes for a walk, she walks slowly, so they let her walk at her own pace. She lives in a cage with 2 adult dogs. However, at the same time, she is a very nervous dog, she gets agitated easily, especially if she is in a kennel. Therefore, when she was hospitalized, the veterinarian had to give her a tranquilizer of natural origin; in addition, she tried to keep her out of the kennel part of the day, since she was calmer that way. Shelter staff observed that Princesa's tail had a wound and was swollen. A volunteer took her to Guatemala City, where the veterinarian examined her and indicated how the wound should be treated daily so that it heals. However, the weeks passed and the wound opened up even more. This was dangerous for her since she could get infected. Princesa is in a rural shelter that is at full capacity and with limited resources. There is no veterinarian at this shelter, so she had to be transferred to a veterinary hospital, where she could be treated appropriately.
