Nani is one of those dogs who carry an entire story in their eyes \u2014 even though she herself can no longer see.<\/p>\n
Nani was found together with her five sisters tied inside a sack and thrown into a canal, all of them barely alive. At just three weeks old, we bottle-raised the puppies around the clock. As the smallest of the litter, Nani had the hardest start. She developed a severe pneumonia and had to fight for her life, including assisted breathing.<\/p>\n
Nani survived \u2014 but the lack of oxygen during this critical time caused her to lose her eyesight. Possible neurological effects or behavioral differences cannot be ruled out. What we do know for sure is that Nani chose life with incredible determination.<\/p>\n
Today, Nani is a bundle of pure energy and curiosity. She is playful, bold and constantly on the move \u2014 running, jumping, exploring and chasing sounds and scents. She experiences the world in her own way and does so with impressive confidence. You can rarely take your eyes off her\u2026 or your ears. Nani makes sure you know she is there.<\/p>\n
Because of her blindness, her history and her special needs, Nani requires a very experienced, patient and well-prepared home. Adoption is something we would only consider under exceptional circumstances, with people who truly understand what living with a blind and potentially neurologically affected dog means and who are able to offer long-term stability, structure and safety.<\/p>\n
Until \u2014 or unless \u2014 such a home is found, Nani will continue to live with us at the sanctuary, where she is safe, understood and deeply loved.<\/p>\n
We are also looking for sponsors who would like to support Nani\u2019s life with us and help cover her food, medical care and daily needs. By sponsoring Nani, you support a dog who fought her way into life and continues to live it with remarkable intensity and joy.<\/p>\n
If you would like to support Nani with a monthly or one-time donation, or if you believe you could offer Nani the exceptional home she would need, please feel free to contact us via e-mail.<\/p>\n
