Ela foi visitar um abrigo de 250 cães mas não conseguiu escolher nenhum… O que fez… Impressionante!
Esta mulher foi a um abrigo de cães com o objetivo de adotar um animal… Mas não conseguiu decidir-se por nenhum… O que ela fez é verdadeiramente impressionante!
Escolher um cão para adotar pode não ser uma tarefa fácil, mas Danielle Eden teve um momento especialmente difícil ao visitar um canil em Israel. Todo os animais viviam em condições tão más e entristecedoras que ela não conseguiu escolher apenas um… então decidiu levar todos os 250 cães.
No local, os 250 cães foram espremidos num espaço projetado para apenas 70.
Os ratos (vivos e mortos) eram abundantes, mais até que os cães e muito dos animais que ali estavam tinham passado anos naquele local.
Cada pedaço de pão atirado para dentro do canil virava uma enorme luta entre os cães.
Com as condições do local, Danielle não foi capaz de escolher qual o animal que iria resgatar para ter uma nova oportunidade de vida no Canadá. Estavam todos a viver em profunda miséria…
Foi então que ela decidiu “comprar o canil” e assumir a responsabilidade por todos os cães. Danielle é co-fundadora do “Dog Tales Rescua and Santuary”, um centro de resgate de animais em Ontario (EUA).
Ela tem visitado inúmeros abrigos de animais em todo o mundo e muitas vezes acaba resgatando animais nas condições mais terríveis. Mesmo assim, não estava preparada para o que a aguardava neste abrigo em Israel, que foi conhecer em janeiro passado, comentado “este foi o pior abrigo que já tinha visto”.
Israel Shelter ProjectWe would like to take a moment to fill everyone in on an enormous project that we have taken on here at Dog Tales. The creation of our entire shelter was inspired by four incredible dogs that were rescued from the streets of Israel. In honour of this, our founders regularly travel to Israel to find dogs in need and bring them back to Canada for a second chance at a happy life. On our trips to Israel we visit local shelters and work with the staff and volunteers to make lists of 10-20 dogs at a time to bring to our rescue. On these trips we look for the difficult cases- dogs that are senior, dogs that have disabilities, and dogs that have been waiting for a home the longest. Making these lists is gut wrenching , however it is usually quite clear which dogs need our help the most.Earlier in the year we were taken to a shelter in Israel that we had never been to before. The conditions were shocking. To say that the shelter was overcrowded is an understatement, with more than 250 dogs crammed into a space with the capacity for 70. There were as many as 6 dogs in each cage, all fighting over the loaves of bread that they were being fed. Rats were everywhere, and the dogs, most of whom had been there for years, were terrified. For once, it was not obvious to us which dogs needed us the most. They all needed us. We realized that it would be impossible to make a list deciding which dogs would be rescued from this horrific life, and which would be left behind. We then made the decision to acquire the entire shelter, and take responsibility for all 250+ dogs. In the past two months, 90 have been relocated within Israel to more adequate shelters. 25 have already made the trip to Canada. 150 remain. We have assembled a team in Israel to clean up the shelter and make the dogs more comfortable until we have the space to bring them here. While in Israel veterinarians will be caring for the dogs to address any immediate health concerns. Staff will be working with the dogs every day to socialize them and teach them to trust again. The dogs will no longer be eating bread. To help these dogs, we need your help. Every dog that is adopted from our rescue creates space for another of these dogs to be brought to Canada. If you are not in a position to adopt, please consider sharing our page with your friends and family. The most important thing that we can do for these, and for all of our dogs, is to share their story and be their voice.In our most recent photos of our new dogs, a popular comment was that the dogs appear sad. We would like to share a short video with you that illustrates the conditions that these dogs have lived in for years, and their journey to Canada. In time, with patience and with love, we know that their expressions will change.
