Eden''s mother was taken to a 'kill' shelter in Romania when she was pregnant. Nobody seems to know what happened to her or the rest of the litter, but for around a year Eden did nothing in the shelter but hide between her pallet and kennel wall. Facing away from everything, she spent her entire day's like in the picture below:
Eventually she was moved to somewhere else where some work was done with her, but now at 18 months old she has still never been on a lead or been outside. Incredible to think but also very sad.....
That's when I was asked if we could help, and as I've said before, it doesn't matter to me where a dog is from if they find their way to SHAK and need help. However on that note I would ask pepole to show us respect and to emphasise that the flood gates to dogs arriving from abroad or anywhere are certainly not open. We can only help so many and with Eden with certainly have a fill time project and won't be taking anymore.
Today though her 48 hour trip across Europe came to an end. Here's how it went.....
