Foster Demi rescued these two sweethearts from a dump site yesterday, according to Rescue Paws Curaçao. RPC is doing everything possible to assist her. Demi the rescuer tells their story below:
“Today started like any other . Wake up, get ready for work, and so on… On my way to work, I pass a popular dog dump (both dead and alive). This is where my own dog is from, and I found two puppies (Milli and Mia) last week. I regularly feed the dog packs that live there. I was looking for the brothers and a woman I see on a regular basis.
I approached the big feeder where they sit a lot lately, they weren’t there but I saw something different . I came to a halt and got out of my car. There were two skinny dogs and a heap of bones. These must have been dumped recently, because I don’t recognize them and only passed by them yesterday evening.
Demi said she saw this dog brought food to the other, maybeshe tried to save her friend.
1 of the dogs couldn’t move, so weak . He also had a chain around his neck, which we were able to remove. We gave them food and water, which they luckily accepted.
I had to go to work but couldn’t think of anything else.. I’m displaying the photos at work and expressing my concerns. I was terrified that someone else would find them and decide not to give them a chance. They are very similar to Finn and Kay. We also discovered Finn and Kay to be extremely thin, with a necklace around Kay’s neck.
I drove as fast as I could, wetsuit still on . Luckily, they were still . I was able to go directly to the vet. I asked the vet to be honest because I can’t do much when they’re very sick and they’re simply too weak. She did some research and came to the conclusion that they most likely “only” have carpathian disease and are severely malnourished.
She’s confident they can be saved . She gave them some shots with meds, tomorrow I have to go back for shots again. They can’t take oral pills because their stomach can’t handle it. We can feed them small amounts of chicken and rice several times per day, and we’ll see more in a week.
They weigh 9 pounds as much as our 15 week old foster pup.. The male is the weakest, unable to walk on his own. They consume food and beverages.
They are safe at Rescue Paws Curaçao house now apart from the other 7 dogs (6 fosters) . They will do everything possible to save them, and hopefully they will survive.”
