Being a stray dog is no easy feat. Unfortunately, the number of strays in the world is increasing rapidly. These innocent pups shouldn’t even be called “strays,” to be honest. Let’s face it, they’re mostly abandoned pets.
One of these vulnerable, scruffy-looking dogs struggling to survive on the streets was Elsa. But despite not having a home, she wasn’t alone…
The sick dog extended her paw to strangers, but she refused to be rescued if they didn’t help her friend too. Luckily, on the other side of these stories, true heroes emerge, like the volunteers of Ray Animal Rescue in Romania.
The organization, founded and led by Raisa Giulia, goes above and beyond to change the fate of hundreds of animals in need of special care and love.
One day, Raisa and her team were alerted to a large bald dog. They were fortunate when suddenly, the female dog approached them with a gesture that completely broke their hearts. But while she was begging to be saved, her plea came with an important condition: THEY RESCUE HER FRIEND.
Elsa had the unwavering friendship of another dog they named Hugo.
It seemed the dog had learned to offer her paw to strangers, hoping to find the help she desperately needed. But sadly, until her heroes arrived, no one had come to her aid.
Elsa wouldn’t budge if they left her best friend behind. Have you ever seen a greater example of loyalty and fraternity? They were brothers in pain, hunger, and desolation. And even though she needed much more attention, she wouldn’t leave without Hugo, even if it meant not being saved herself.
Thankfully, these heroes were obviously going to fulfill her request, and they took them both in.
The issue with Elsa’s skin was worse than the rescuers had anticipated. Raisa noticed that baldness affected most of Elsa’s body. She was certain some type of mite was the cause. They took both dogs to the vet, where she was examined, and they saw there was hardly any hair left on Elsa’s reddened skin.
But in just 6 months, Elsa would undergo the most magical transformation wrought by love. Ray Animal Rescue focused on an intensive treatment consisting of delicate medical baths, so Elsa could find a forever home as soon as possible. But Hugo was a healthy dog and, truth be told, was starting to become more independent and was ready for them to find him a home.
In the process, Hugo was adopted. Something that hurt them a lot because they had separated them, but it would take Elsa more time to recover, and they couldn’t deny Hugo the perfect family that wanted to take him in as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Elsa became the most affectionate and beautiful creature ever, resembling more a princess from a fairy tale than the hairless creature that once begged for help.
Then, Raisa found her a foster home to get used to living under a roof before assigning her to her forever family.
Elsa’s foster family immediately started to love the sweet dog. Andreea and Maria were her temporary mothers. But what do you think happened? What would happen to any animal lover. They failed as foster mothers and fell head over heels in love with Elsa. In fact, when a family willing to adopt her went to meet the dog, they burst into tears. They couldn’t imagine a life without her, so before it was too late, they decided to adopt her forever.
The dog with a giant size and soul is now happy in the hands of Andreea and Maria. Both Andreea and Maria adore their Elsa, whom they affectionately call Elsie. With her new coat of white fur and her loving new home, she has nothing more to ask for.
She is the most grateful creature, aware of having gone from hell to the fullest and happiest life she never even imagined. Absolutely every dog deserves such happy endings. A thousand thanks to these heroes without capes who manage to work true miracles of love. The world needs more souls like them.
