Story Overview

8-Feb-2011
Neshima
just two days old when she arrived at the RSPCA

Story Details

Neshima arrived at the RSPCA at around 2 days old. She had been rejected by her mother and abandoned by her owner. She was found lying on a concrete slab, hardly moving and in desperate need of intervention. Because she had no mother to provide her milk, she was fed every three hours by her foster parents and quickly put on weight. Against all odds Neshima is now doing very well. She is a happy and beautiful dog living by the sea and enjoying life to the max with her new family.
