The Devastating State of Esmerelda

Esmerelda, a Schnauzer cross, came into our care as a stray just over two weeks ago after being collected by the dog warden, and she was in a truly heartbreaking condition. She was covered in faeces, her coat was severely matted, and her nails had grown so long they were curling into her paw pads.

Although Esmerelda was microchipped, the details were blank.. We took her straight to an emergency vet, where her entire coat had to be shaved off in one piece. Further examination revealed a grade 2 heart murmur, and her teeth were found to be completely rotten.

Despite everything she has endured, Esmerelda is the sweetest girl. She was incredibly fortunate to meet Liz and her family, who had been on our waiting list for some time and immediately fell in love with her.

Esmerelda is now settling into her new home in North London. Her heart condition is being carefully monitored, and once she has fully recovered from her trauma and is ready to be spayed, she will also receive the dental treatment she so badly needs.

Sadly, it is likely Esmerelda was used for breeding and then discarded when she was no longer useful.

Thank you for making rescues like Esmerelda possible. Your continued support enables us to act quickly, fund emergency care and give neglected dogs like Esmerelda the second chance they deserve.
