Featured Famous Curacao Dog

Maria

The website “Paws on Curacao” shares rescue stories about street animals on the island. In addition to the written stories, links are provided to watch videos about each rescue that are on YouTube’s Animal Rescue Channel. The stories that are shared tell of dogs struggling through difficult circumstances, usually in dire need of assistance.

One dog featured on the site is Maria. Feed Friends Foundation got a message about a skinny dog wandering near a fast food restaurant. When rescuers went looking for the pooch they found Maria, who was emaciated and limping badly. Despite her condition, she still tried to get away from her rescuers, walking toward the busy street. Once the rescuers were able to get ahold of her, she was brought to the vet. Unfortunately, Maria was very undernourished, dehydrated and appeared to have a dislocated hip. Euthanasia was discussed, however the rescuers wanted to give her a chance at life and to experience love.

A temporary foster home was found, though on Maria’s second day there she stopped eating and drinking. The decision was made to give her an IV three times a day so that she could remain hydrated. Maria was clearly terrified and the rescuers again discussed whether it would be best to let her go. The decision was made to try and give her more time. Fortunately, someone contacted the group saying that they would like to foster Maria should she start to eat and drink. Fortunately, after two days, Maria did and she was able to go to her new foster family.

The family was patient and understanding and they gave her the time and space she needed to feel more comfortable. She started in the home hiding for most of the day and only eating when no one was present. Slowly, she began to warm up and come closer to her new family. Once she was physically strong enough, Maria had her hip operated on. Fortunately, she recovered quickly and is now healthy and is enjoying life. Over time, she has learned that it is not scary to be in the house and will even come inside to get treats. Her foster family has decided to adopt her, as she gets along so well with the household’s other dogs.
