Ksusha, that's the name of our heroine, spared no blood for a spaniel named Charlie and thereby saved his life. The journalists of Dobro Media told about this touching story.
The shaggy baby was being treated for poisoning, and at one stage a blood transfusion was needed. Vyaznikovsky animal volunteers contacted the shelter "The Road of Goodness" and its director Yulia Buinitskaya helped to find a donor.
There is a shortage of donor animals in veterinary clinics. Therefore, when one of the shaggy patients is undergoing surgery, veterinarians or volunteers often ask shelters to find a donor just in case. So it happened with the shelter "The Road of Goodness". All the dogs there are vaccinated, treated and clean, and they are always ready to insure their brothers.
“A volunteer colleague from Vyazniki told us that a dog was dying in a veterinary clinic. We began to think about which of our wards would cope with this task and be able to become a donor. And we decided on Ksyusha, she was the most suitable both in terms of health and weight. We were worried about how the girl would behave in the city, how she would reschedule the visit to the clinic," Yulia Buinitskaya said.
But before proceeding with the blood transfusion from Ksusha, the veterinarians had to determine whether the blood in dogs was compatible. When the tests came back, everyone exhaled, the tests gave the transfusion the green light and the vets began preparing for the procedure.
"All the worries were in vain! Ksyusha did an excellent job. She gave blood, hugged and kissed all the staff of the veterinary clinic. She came back to the shelter happy: she got petted. And Charlie's owners made a donation to the shelter and bought our Ksyusha some sweets," Yulia Buinitskaya continues.
In the shelter "The Road of Goodness" they say that the dog Ksyusha was not lucky enough to get immediately into a reliable home with caring owners. As a puppy, she lived half-starved on a chain, then she was taken to a shelter. But even this did not deprive Ksusha of kindness and love for life. For three years now, she has been playing, messing around with other wards. In general, she enjoys her simple dog life without a chain.
"Maybe after Ksyusha is nominated for the "My affectionate and necessary Animal" award, she will finally be able to find her home and loving owners," says Yulia Buinitskaya, head of the Road of Goodness shelter. "We really hope so."
