Michi may appear to be a lovely, cuddly teddy bear, but this was not always the case. We discovered Michi walking the streets of Bali with a severe and potentially fatal head injury.
Although we were aware that she needed to see a veterinarian very away, when we attempted to save her, she fled down a sewer and buried herself there instead. For three hours, we waited in the gutter for the rescue team. Hope and a tiny bit of smoke seemed to be the only ways to free her.
When she finally arrived at the vet, it turned out the wound in her head was full of maggots. Perhaps it had been caused by a person, or she had been in a battle with another dog—we didn’t know. We only knew that she required assistance.
At Mission Paws’ible, our primary goal is to provide dogs with a safe, peaceful, and serene place to rest, frequently in our own homes. We establish a treatment plan for them based on any issues that have been identified, such as a skin ailment, and make sure they are fed a nutritious raw diet along with vitamins to strengthen their immune systems.
Maintaining a consistent pattern, such as feeding times, walks, or sleep aids them in adjusting to their new environment and promotes relaxation. We’ve discovered that dogs who have undergone significant trauma recuperate more quickly when they are around other, healthy, fully vaccinated dogs. Newly rescued puppies learn and comprehend how to socialize and trust when they observe the relationships that they have with humans and other dogs.
Unfortunately, Michi’s parvovirus diagnosis came after she was placed in foster care. Direct contact with an infected dog or indirect contact can contribute to the transmission of this extremely contagious illness. It’s possible that Michi had it before going into the clinic and the shot brought it out, or she picked it up there. Foster homes need to be safe and secure for this reason. Thankfully, Michi lived due to her advanced age and strong immune system.
It was a sweet day when Michi met Saffron, the woman who would become her mother. The arrival of her pawfect match left us all in tears! With Saffron, her other rescue dog, Garscon, and Michi, they now make up a pretty unique little family in Bali.
Let us emphasize that each adopter undergoes a thorough screening process that begins with an online application. After we receive the application, we call the applicant to finalize other important data and determine how serious they are about getting a new pet. To ensure that the house is completely fenced in and secure, we require a full house inspection.
Saffron drove 1.5 hours to meet Michi, and they clicked right away. Their bond was strong from the beginning as we sat in the clinic where Michi was still recovering from parvo. We were all in tears, and I simply knew that this was Michi’s home.
Michi is very adored right now. The whole dog-loving community’s help was essential in making this feasible.
We want to help more dogs like Michi. This year we will be commencing the development of The Healing Centre, which is a custom-designed doggy dream home for our rescued pets. This means we will be able to save many more animals and help them through their healing to adoption. You can find out more here. Please consider donating to help us achieve this dream and continue rescuing the dogs of Bali.
