Haru's story is a heartbreaking one. She is a
6-year-old female Schnauzer who was recently surrendered to our care.
Though still relatively young, her body condition was so poor that even the
vet was shocked, as she looked like a much older dog after being neglected.
Despite everything she has endured, Haru remains gentle, cooperative, and
trusting—a reminder of just how loyal dogs remain even when their families
let them down.
Upon rescue, Haru underwent a full medical examination.
We are relieved that her blood tests came back normal, but several concerns
were discovered. At just 4.75kg, she is more than 1kg underweight, with
ribs that can be easily felt, and is now on four small meals a day to help
her gain weight safely. A chest X-ray revealed an enlargement on one side
of her heart, so a heart and abdominal scan have been arranged. She also
has only four teeth remaining, dry eyelids requiring medication, itchy and
inflamed front paws, and an ear infection, all of which are being treated.
A lump was also found on her abdomen. As Haru is not
yet sterilised, this is particularly concerning due to the risk of mammary
tumours. On top of this, our volunteers discovered she has been living with
a long-term urinary tract infection that may have gone unnoticed for some
time. She has a long road of treatment ahead, but she is finally safe and
in good hands.
Haru is now looking for a patient and loving home where
she can heal, regain her strength, and finally experience the comfort and
care she has always deserved. With a gentle and devoted family, she will
blossom into a faithful companion.
