In Corum, Turkey, a heartbreaking discovery was made. An 8-year-old Kangal Shepherd named Kratos was found in a dire state at a desolate landfill.
Kratos was not just underfed, but his condition was critical. He suffered from severe malnutrition and dehydration, which had taken a toll on his once proud physique. What's worse, he had lost all his fur, a result of numerous painful lesions that covered his body.
On a chilly day, volunteers from the organization "Rescuers Without Borders" stumbled upon Kratos. He was lying in a muddy pit within this toxic landfill. The look in his eyes was one of despair, suggesting that he had once known the warmth of a loving home but had ended up in this forsaken place.
Regrettably, Kratos' story is not an isolated one in Turkey. Over the past two months, animal activists have come to the rescue of more than 800 dogs abandoned in various landfills. Tragically, some of these dogs didn't make it, succumbing to the harsh conditions. It's a grim pattern where owners often discard their dogs when they grow old, fall ill, or are no longer needed for labor.
Despite these grim circumstances, "Rescuers Without Borders" has been working tirelessly to rehabilitate hundreds of these landfill dogs. Remarkably, these canines, even after all they've endured, remain friendly and eager to please people.
However, this mission faces a roadblock as the campaign to help these landfill pups has been temporarily halted. Each rescue operation comes at a substantial cost, ranging from $800 to $2,000 per dog.
The good news is that Kratos is on the path to recovery, though it's a gradual process due to his weakened immune system. It's estimated that in about two months, he will be fully healed. His fur has started to grow back, a hopeful sign. Once he regains his health, he'll be ready for his forever home. Get well soon, dear Kratos!
