Wonderful news! ❤️
Just a few days ago, we shared the happy news that Pukka had found her forever home. Today, we are overjoyed to announce that Tiny has found his too!
After spending the past two years at the sanctuary together, we had always hoped to find these siblings a home as a pair. While that wasn't meant to be, we never gave up on Tiny. With determination, perseverance, and a lot of faith, we continued searching for the perfect family for him.
We are delighted to say that our efforts have paid off, and Tiny has now left for his very own loving home. 🏡🐾
Seeing both Tiny and Pukka begin this new chapter is the happy ending we had been hoping for. We wish Tiny a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful adventures with his new family. ❤️
Happy adoption day, Tiny! 🐶💕

Today, we are celebrating a very special adoption. ❤️
Two years ago, Pukka arrived at our sanctuary after a heartbreaking journey.
She and her brother Tiny, had once lived a happy life with their beloved owner. When the owner passed away, they spent the next five years alone in the house, cared for only by relatives until the property was eventually sold.
At 12 years old, Pukka found herself homeless and waiting for a second chance.
Sadly, senior dogs are often overlooked in favour of younger ones. But Pukka's story is proof that older dogs deserve love, comfort, and a family just as much as any other dog
After two years at the sanctuary, Pukka has finally found her forever home. We couldn't be happier for her and her new family.
Her adoption is a beautiful reminder not to overlook senior dogs. They may have a few grey hairs and move a little slower, but their hearts are full of love and gratitude.
Happy new life, Pukka. You waited a long time for this moment 🐾❤️
And for anyone wondering about Tiny, he is still waiting for his own happy ending. 🐾❤️🤞

Veru ħasra li dawn il- krejaturi tilfu ħajjithom b'mod daqshekk ikrah. 😥

🐾🕯️ Solidarjetà mal-annimali li tilfu ħajjithom fl-inċident tal-lum fil-kamra tan-nar. 🕯️🐾

B’sogħba kbira smajna li diversi annimali mietu kawża tal-isplużjoni li seħħet illum.

Filwaqt li ħafna drabi l-attenzjoni tmur fuq il-ħsarat materjali, ma nistgħux ninsew lill-vittmi siekta ta’ dawn it-traġedji – annimali li kienu kompletament dipendenti fuq il-bnedmin għall-protezzjoni tagħhom u li spiċċaw tilfu ħajjithom mingħajr ebda ħtija tagħhom.

Nittamaw li l-annimali kollha li rnexxielhom isalvaw jingħataw il-kura meħtieġa, u nibagħtu s-solidarjetà tagħna lis-sidien u lill-familji li tilfu l-annimali tagħhom.

Nixtiequ wkoll nirringrazzjaw lill-uffiċjali ta’ Animal Welfare, lill-veterinarji, lill-membri tal-Protezzjoni Ċivili, lill-pulizija, kif ukoll lill kull min b’xi mod ta l-għajnuna tiegħu fuq il-post. F’mumenti bħal dawn, il-kompassjoni, id-dedikazzjoni u l-ħidma bla waqfien tagħkom jagħmlu differenza kbira.

💔 Illum niftakru f’dawk il-ħajjiet li ntilfu u nfakkru li kull ħajja tgħodd.

As we begin the month of June, we turn the page on our sanctuary calendar to celebrate beautiful India. ❤️
India was found wandering the streets all alone at just 5 months old. Like so many others, she deserved a chance, and thankfully that chance came.
Today, we are happy to share photos of India living her best life in her forever home. Seeing our former residents loved, safe, and happy is the greatest reward we could ask for.
Thank you to everyone who supports our work and helps make happy endings like India's possible. 🐾
