Benji, a sweet and gentle bichon, is less than a year old. He was found in a village, wandering the streets with a collar around his neck, desperately begging people for food.
Despite his friendly nature, Benji was in terrible shape. He was filthy, his fur matted with dirt, wood, and debris.
People were disgusted by him, fearing he might have scabies, so they avoided him at all costs. While Benji would run towards humans, longing for love and care, they would run away from him.
It’s heartbreaking to think that someone could abandon such a young, innocent dog on the streets.
Benji didn’t know how to fend for himself. He had no idea where to find food, and he would run dangerously close to cars, unaware to the risks.
His condition was so poor that his fur was full of painful thorns—how he managed to sleep on the streets like this is beyond us.
Even more concerning is that Benji seems to have something wrong with his eye. We don’t know if he was kicked or if it’s an injury from something else, but it’s clear that he needs urgent care.
Despite living in such filth and barely having enough to eat, Benji never lost his trust in humans. People would sometimes leave him a bit of food and water, and for that small kindness, Benji was grateful. It’s amazing how dogs, even after being abandoned and mistreated, continue to have faith in us.
We couldn’t turn our backs on Benji. He broke our hearts, and we knew we had to help him.
Now, Benji is under our care. He is very dehydrated, and his fur is so matted that it needs to be shaved. He desperately needs a bath, deworming, and nexgard.
We also need to have him neutered, and most importantly, we need to have his eye checked by an ophthalmologist to see if there was any damage.
We need your help to cover Benji’s medical expenses and to give him the care he deserves.
Please consider donating to help us provide Benji with the treatment and love he needs to heal.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
