🐾 💙 Barbie’s Story - Uma Segunda Oportunidade com a ABLE 💙🐾

Sometimes, all a young dog needs is the chance to be loved and properly cared for - and sadly, little Barbie had not received that in her short life.

Às vezes, tudo o que um cão jovem precisa é da oportunidade de ser amado e bem cuidado - e infelizmente, a pequena Barbie não teve isso no início da sua vida.

This beautiful Bull Terrier found herself in the wrong environment after being rehomed to someone unable to properly care for her. What should have been a safe and loving home became a situation of neglect and suffering.

Esta linda Bull Terrier acabou no ambiente errado após ter sido entregue a alguém sem condições para cuidar dela. O que deveria ter sido um lar seguro e cheio de amor tornou-se uma situação de negligência e sofrimento.

Thankfully, Barbie’s story did not end there.
Felizmente, a história da Barbie não terminou assim.

With support from the veterinary team and after Lisa reached out for help, ABLE stepped in to ensure Barbie was surrendered into proper care where she could finally receive the help she desperately needed.

Com o apoio da equipa veterinária e depois de a Lisa ter pedido ajuda, a ABLE interveio para garantir que a Barbie fosse entregue a cuidados adequados, onde finalmente pudesse receber a ajuda de que precisava urgentemente.

When Barbie arrived, she was severely malnourished and anaemic - weak, underweight and in need of urgent love, stability and medical support. Following a recent veterinary examination, it is now believed Barbie is closer to 12 months old rather than 6 months.

Quando a Barbie chegou, estava severamente desnutrida e anémica - fraca, abaixo do peso e a precisar urgentemente de amor, estabilidade e cuidados médicos. Após uma recente avaliação veterinária, acredita-se agora que a Barbie tenha cerca de 12 meses e não apenas 6.

The good news is that Barbie is already making incredible progress. In just six days, she has increased her body weight by an amazing 20%.

A boa notícia é que a Barbie já está a fazer progressos incríveis. Em apenas seis dias, aumentou o seu peso corporal em impressionantes 20%.

But what everyone notices most about Barbie is not just her recovery - it is her gentle, loving nature. Despite everything she has been through, she is affectionate, sweet-natured and simply wants love and reassurance from the people around her.

Mas aquilo que mais chama a atenção na Barbie não é apenas a sua recuperação - é a sua natureza doce e carinhosa. Apesar de tudo o que passou, continua a ser meiga, afetuosa e apenas procura amor e segurança das pessoas à sua volta.

Today, Barbie is safe in foster care with caring people, where she is slowly beginning her recovery surrounded by kindness, patience and affection.
Hoje, a Barbie está em segurança numa família de acolhimento com pessoas carinhosas, onde começa lentamente a recuperar rodeada de carinho, paciência e afeto.

Her journey is only just beginning, and we will continue to share updates as she grows stronger. In time, we hope to find Barbie the responsible forever home she truly deserves - one filled with love, safety and compassion.

A sua jornada está apenas a começar e continuaremos a partilhar atualizações à medida que vai ficando mais forte. Esperamos, no momento certo, encontrar para a Barbie o lar responsável e definitivo que ela realmente merece - cheio de amor, segurança e compaixão.

One thing is certain: Barbie will never suffer again. That is our promise to her. ❤️
Uma coisa é certa: a Barbie nunca mais irá sofrer. Essa é a nossa promessa para ela. ❤️

Foster families play such an important role in helping dogs like Barbie recover, heal and prepare for their forever homes - and ABLE is always in desperate need of more caring foster support.

As famílias de acolhimento têm um papel fundamental em ajudar cães como a Barbie a recuperar, sarar e prepararem-se para os seus lares definitivos - e a ABLE precisa sempre urgentemente de mais apoio de famílias de acolhimento.

🐾💙 ANOTHER ABLE SUCCESS STORY - MEET KEANE 💙🐾

Keane, a brave little French Bulldog, had already lost one eye due to a painful corneal ulcer. When another ulcer developed in his remaining eye, there was a very real danger that he could lose his sight completely. 😢

ABLE stepped in to help fund the urgent surgery needed to save his eye - and today we are so happy to share that Keane’s surgery was successful and his eye has been saved. 🙏✨

From facing possible blindness… to recovery and healing 💙

The photos show:

💙🐾 Shrek /Jaime Update / Atualização do Shrek 🐾💙

Good news for everyone following Shrek’s recovery. Yesterday, the metal was removed from his jaw and the vet confirmed that it appears to have healed well. 🙏

Boas notícias para todos os que têm acompanhado a recuperação do Shrek. Ontem, o metal foi removido da mandíbula e o veterinário confirmou que parece ter cicatrizado bem.

Shrek also received treatment for ear mites and will need his ears cleaned over the next two weeks. Some damage was found around the eardrum, which will continue to be monitored carefully.

O Shrek também foi tratado aos ácaros nos ouvidos e precisará de limpeza durante as próximas duas semanas. Foi detetado algum dano perto do tímpano, que continuará a ser acompanhado.

And the best part? 💙

Shrek is back in Moncarapacho today, has gained weight, and is already enjoying food around the village again! 🐱🍽️

E a melhor parte? 💙

O Shrek voltou hoje a Moncarapacho, aumentou de peso e já está novamente a comer pelas ruas da vila! 🐾

Meet Shrek 💙
A very important ABLE Success Story

Many people in Moncarapacho know Shrek (also known as Jaime) — the gentle street cat with the folded ears and kind face who quietly wanders the village greeting locals along the way.

Recently, Shrek suffered devastating injuries after being hit by a car. His jaw was badly fractured and pushed backwards, leaving him unable to eat and in considerable pain. The accident caused two serious fractures to his jaw, one dangerously close to an artery, making treatment particularly delicate and risky.

ABLE stepped in immediately to ensure Shrek received urgent veterinary care.

One fracture was repaired quickly, while the veterinary team monitored the second injury carefully due to the risk involved. His canine teeth had become badly misaligned and there were serious concerns that he might never be able to eat normally again.

Despite the pain and trauma, Shrek remained incredibly gentle throughout his treatment and quickly won over the entire veterinary team caring for him.

At first, everyone hoped he would begin eating by himself once the swelling reduced. But when he was unable to do so, a feeding tube had to be fitted to give him the nutrition he desperately needed while his jaw stabilised.

For days, Shrek fought quietly through pain, swelling, medication, and recovery. Then came the breakthrough everyone had been hoping for — he managed to eat a small amount on his own after coming off morphine.

Soon afterwards, Shrek was finally able to go home to continue his recovery in familiar surroundings. He is currently eating soft mousse-style food while his jaw continues to heal and stabilise over the coming weeks.

Once fully recovered, he will undergo further dental treatment to remove canine teeth that could otherwise damage his palate and the metal plate in the front of his jaw.

And now, Shrek is back where he belongs — walking proudly through the streets of Moncarapacho once again.

Shrek's story is exactly why ABLE exists. Without rapid veterinary intervention, a cat with injuries this severe may not have survived. Instead, thanks to quick action, veterinary care, donations, and the support of the local community, Shrek has been given the chance to recover and continue living the life he knows in the village he calls home.

Everyone in Moncarapacho has been rooting for him — and this brave little street cat has shown incredible strength every step of the way. 🐾
💙Thank you to everyone who donated, shared updates, supported his care, and rooted for this very special boy.💙
