Stray Dog Rüzgar's Life Hangs In The Balance
Rüzgar, a street-born stray dog built a nest in a derelict building, and there she gave birth to her puppies.
Her life had been harsh since the day she was born. Growing up on the unforgiving streets, she learned to navigate the challenges of finding food and shelter.
The arrival of her puppies brought a flicker of hope and warmth to her existence. Each day, she ventured out, braving the elements and searching for scraps to nourish her young.
Her resilience and instinct to protect and care for her litter was unwavering. In the quiet moments, nestled together, they found solace in each other's company, a small family forged in the heart of adversity.
Rüzgar and her pups had been struggling to survive in the harsh environment they found themselves in. Their condition was worsening each day, and the prospect of survival seemed bleak until a compassionate citizen intervened.
This kind-hearted lady recognized the urgency of Rüzgar's situation and took swift action. She arranged for the family to be transported to a safe haven where they could receive the necessary care.
The temporary shelter offered a sanctuary where a veterinarian could examine Rüzgar and her pups, ensuring they received any medical attention required. This intervention was crucial in giving Rüzgar the chance to regain her strength and continue nurturing her young.
The lady also provided food and clean water, alleviating the immediate need for Rüzgar to venture out in search of sustenance. This thoughtful act ensured that Rüzgar could stay by her pups' side, nurturing them without the added stress of finding resources. Her milk supply, vital for the pups' survival, was sustained thanks to this timely assistance.
As time passed, Rüzgar 's puppies thrived and grew into healthy, happy dogs. Her health improved as well, and she flourished.
It was noted that her missing eye had been surgically removed, albeit crudely. We don't know how she lost it or who had helped her, but we are extremely grateful that they did.
Her resilience and the care she received ensured that she and her puppies could enjoy a joyful and fulfilling life. The bond between them grew stronger with each passing day, a testament to the healing power of love and compassion.
Due to the scarcity of homes, Rüzgar’s rescuer couldn't find a successful adoption for her. They reached out to us for assistance, and while we did everything we could, not a single application came in for Rüzgar.
Currently, she is staying in a pension, which is like a boarding house for dogs.
Unfortunately, the rescuer has run out of funds, putting Rüzgar's life at risk.
We are actively trying to raise the necessary funds to ensure she can keep her home. Can you help us in this urgent mission to secure a safe and stable future for Rüzgar?

Life is incredibly difficult for stray dogs in Turkey right now, as they are perceived by many as public enemy number one.
These innocent animals are being hunted down and either culled immediately or sent to substandard shelters where they receive inadequate care, often losing their lives there.
Adoptions have been banned or severely restricted, and veterinarians are no longer permitted to provide medical care to stray dogs.
Feeding them is prohibited, and there are increasing calls for all strays to be killed on the streets and for the shelters to be closed. These dogs need your help now more than ever; please don't look away.
