Introducing Olivia! One afternoon in October 2022, a report came in to the Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary about a dog found lying in a creek nearby. She was extremely weak and emaciated. Luckily, the shelter was close by, so rescue volunteers quickly arrived to assess the situation. They discovered that she had just given birth and was in dire need of help, as she was literally starving to death.

Upon their arrival, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight: a female dog so frail and emaciated that she could barely move.

Even though she had been rescued hours ago, she remained frightful and shaken. Sadly, her test results revealed that she was positive for heartworm disease, as well as having low levels of platelets and red blood cells.

Let’s all send some positive vibes and well wishes to Olivia, who’s currently undergoing a 14-day isolation period to ensure she’s free from rabies. Let’s hope for a speedy recovery for her!

It would be great if we could spread the word about this girl’s story and help her find the ideal family to adopt her.
