Tika

We have adopted Tika - a brown, 16 year old female mule who was abandoned by her owner and left by the side of the road. Animal Nepal rescued her in April 2010. She is partly blind and has a dislocated front leg leaving her permanently handicapped. She also suffers from malnutrition and a skin disorder. Tika has worked in brick kilns for many years, but she now enjoys a well deserved retirement in the Animal Nepal donkey sanctuary.

Chance 

We are sponsoring Chance - an Asiatic Black Bear confiscated from a wildlife trader in Gai Lai province, Vietnam, in December 2003. Free the Bears believe Chance was captured in the forests of Laos and bought illegally into Vietnam to be used in a bear bile farm. Chance lived in a 2m x 2m cage with Hope, another Asiatic Black Bear.  Chance has evidence of a snare wound on her right fore-paw but fortunately her paw is still intact although she is missing all-but-one claw on her left fore-paw. Chance is now enjoying her life swimming and basking in the sun at the Free the Bears Sanctuary in Vietnam.

Peggy

We are sponsoring Peggy  - a street dog in Sri Lanka. In late June the Dogstar Foundation team were told about a street dog who lived close to the local Temple and who had a very large wound to her hind leg. The team arrived on 27June and found that Peggy (as she is now known) had a very nasty tumor on her hind leg, which needed surgery. She also had a large mammary tumor. She was taken immediately to Dr. Prashashini’s surgery where both tumors were removed and supportive treatment given. A local lady offered to foster Peggy until she regained her strength. Over the next few weeks, Peggy became much tamer and was easy to treat and feed. On 18 July she was taken back to the temple where she was found. On 24 July, the dogstar team went back to check on her progress -  and found she was doing extremely well.

  

 

 

 Peggy has now been adopted - to help dogs like Peggy, please visit Dogstar Foundation.

 

 

Bandit

We are sponsoring Bandit - a kitten saved from deathrow by Little Paws Kitten Rescue, a No Kill Rescue based in Brisbane Australia:

"Bandit was abused in his previous home and arrived into care as a skinny and timid three month old kitten, so full of fleas he was covered in sores.  After careful bathing and treatments for fleas and worms, his skin slowly healed.  His heart and spirit are taking a little longer.  When approached or touched, Bandit would freeze with fear, his huge liquid green eyes would fix on you with absolute terror and his whole body would cramp up into a little ball. 

With lots of love and time, Bandit now doesn't shy away and actually purrs when petted and stroked. We estimate his birthdate to be approx. 18.12.2010 and we've desexed, microchipped and vaccinated him.  Bandit is available to adopt and would love a forever home. He would quickly respond to an owner that would give him unconditional love but he’d take some time to adjust to his new surroundings.  However, if he never finds anyone else to love him, Bandit is healthy, happy and comfortable in his foster mamma's home, well socialised with her dogs and the other foster kitties. F more information about Bandit, please contact Little Paws Kitten Rescue."

Mighty Mouse

 Mighty Mouse was rescued by Edgar's Mission, a not for profit Farm Sanctury in Victoria, Australia:

"We heard a local farmer planned to kill all 55 his male merino lambs as it wasn‛t worth his while to take them to market. Their rescue was the most daunting one we have ever undertaken. The task of homing these tiny merino lambs freshly taken from their mothers almost didn‛t happen due to the enormity of the task. Mighty Mouse was the smallest of the lambs - we could easily lift and hold with one hand. Despite the odds Mighty Mouse has flourished into a robust fine merino who answers to his name and is quick to take a weetbix treat".
