Little Mika’s Journey to Recovery and Adoption
On December 10th, 2023, a little dog named Mika was found sobbing on the street with a broken jaw. People just shooed her away, but despite the pain, she wagged her tail when she saw humans. Mika was skinny and couldn’t close her mouth, and her condition was critical. We moved her to a bigger vet, and she was so scared of being abandoned again that she kept wagging her tail. We had to calm her down and assure her that it would never happen again.
Mika had to wait a while for her surgery, but others saw her suffering and allowed us to move up in the queue. The small surgery was successful, and Mika was put in a special box for 24 hours. The next day, Mika was happy and could eat a little, even though it was still very hard for her. After her belly was full, she also wanted to play, and her eyes showed much more confidence.
After four days, Mika’s bandage was removed, and eating became much easier for her. Although she was still 5 kilos underweight, she was on a good track. We gave her meals at least five times per day, and she always finished the whole bowl. She looked so much better and was such a good girl.
Mika was taken back to our shelter, where she waited for adoption. She was very naughty and kept trolling her friend, but we took her for a periodic vet check, and everything was good. Mika smiled all the time instead of being terrified. She was such a fighter, and she got adopted on January 27th, 2023. Her new godmother sent us pictures of Mika, and she was so smart. It made us so happy to see that we were able to change Mika’s life for the better. We still keep a picture of Mika in our shelter and hope that she is living a good life and being a good dog.
