A frail and underweight dog was found in a creek, barely able to stand. Exhausted from childbirth, suffering from malnutrition, and testing positive for heartworm, Olivia’s situation was dire.
The volunteers at Dumaguete Animal Sanctuary acted immediately, bringing her to safety and placing her in 14-day isolation to monitor her health and ensure she received proper care. Blood tests revealed low platelet and red blood cell counts, highlighting the seriousness of her condition.
Despite her fear and weakness, Olivia has shown incredible resilience. With the dedication of veterinarians and caregivers, she has slowly begun regaining strength, lifting her head, wagging her tail, and allowing gentle touches without flinching.
Her story has inspired the community to rally behind her, offering donations, encouragement, and messages of support. Olivia’s journey reminds us that even in the darkest moments, compassion can spark hope.
Now, the dream is to find Olivia a loving, forever home where she can fully heal and experience the love she deserves. Sharing her story could make a life-changing difference for this brave dog.
