Rescue Cuban Street Dog
Donation protected
We went to Cuba to explore Havana and other unique areas, not to bring a dog back home. We've seen a lot of street dogs in our life and know that we can't rescue them all, but for some reason, this dog really captured our hearts. We saw her first in a city square, and she was so joyful.
She hurried over to us, wagging her bum all along the way. We gave her some love and then bid farewell. Later that day, in another square, she found us again! She then followed us back to our guesthouse, but we couldn't take her in.
The next day we left. Four months later, I was still thinking about this little puppy and how cheerful she was. We fell in love with her.
So, I contacted our guesthouse, a guy who painted a picture for us, and an animal charity I found on Google. They all told me it was unlikely to find her after such time. After all, life on the street is full of disease, hunger, and of course, the government killing squad.
But they FOUND HER!
It really is meant to be. She also had an infection in the uterus, so had we not search her out, she would not have lived much longer.
The charity there took her in, fixed her up, and gave her the necessary shots for being transported to Canada.
So she is able to come to Canada as of May 7, 2018.
But now, I need to go back and get her. I'm thinking of flying there for just 3 days, to get her back, and bring her home to Alberta, Canada.
We're hoping to raise $1,000 to cover some of the costs associated with rescuing her as well as bringing some aid to the animal rescue organization.
Some friends are helping with part of the flight but we still need:
Airfare: $300
Dog Kennel: $100
Transportation and supplies: $200
Additional VET treatments: $250
There are many other fees of course but we'll figure out a way to cover those. Also, if you're a VET in Alberta and can donate a service, that would help a lot as well.
While we wish we could rescue all dogs, that is just not possible, and against all odds, this little sweetheart has someone managed to persevere.
Can you help?
