GIZMO’s FUTURE?

Gizmo was rescued as a young puppy last year � he and his siblings were found in a garbage bin in Bosnia. Gizmo is amongst the few survivors of a bad outbreak of canine parvovirus, and has lived all his life in �pension� (kennels). Because of a poor immune system he and his siblings have suffered from the skin condition demodex. He’s slowly recovering, but living in pension, while is safer and better than on the streets, is not at all what he needs.

The only way he will fully recover is if we find him a forever home where he can get special loving care in addition to medical treatment.The neurological causes behind demodex can only be helped with a stress-free, calm and loving environment. Such dogs need stability, familiar people and environment to live in or the condition will re-occur. But with the right care his coat will grow back fully, and he will have a beautiful wolf-like appearance.

Gizmo has a sponsored place on our transport, and the sponsor has asked that he preferably go to a forever home rather than a foster. This would in any case be better for him, as he needs a stable, secure environment to heal properly. Click here for more photographs and information on Gizmo.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
