Hi, I’m Lilo and I was rescued from the village of Likotrafo in May 2020.

As you can see, I’m in a very poorly condition and have advanced mange and anaemia. 

I was very weak when I was found and malnourished, so I have quite a long way to go to get healthy and put on weight. 

The humans that take care of me say they think I was born in 2018 but because I am very nervous and scared, I won’t let them examine my teeth to assess my age more accurately. 

Maybe when I am feeling better I will let them have a look.

The volunteers here at DASH Dogs tell me that I am ok and in time I will learn to trust them, but for now they give me my space and just sit with me for a little while every day. 

I am taking lots of medication and I need special food to help me put on weight. 

My immune system is compromised by my condition and the stress of my new surroundings. 

I hope that when my mange has gone completely, I can hang out with some of the other dogs here at DASH Dogs. 

I’m not allowed right now, whilst I am contagious. 

Being with other dogs might teach me that it’s okay to trust these new humans in my life. 

I am on a long road to recovery but with the help of the Ivermectin medication, mange shampoo baths, topical creams and diet in time I should heal. 

The vet told me that when I am better my fur will grow back and I will be a very pretty girl indeed. 

I am anaemic at the moment so I need treatment for that too and then hopefully once I am in a stable condition I can be tested for Mediterranean diseases. 

Fingers crossed, if I test negative, I might even be able to be put up for adoption one day, but it’s a long way off. 

First, I need to concentrate on getting my health stabilised and then we can work on my socialisation with humans. 

Can you help me on my health journey? By sponsoring special case DASH Dogs residents like me, you will be helping feed and care for me and changing the lives of every dog that comes to DASH Dogs for help, love and shelter!
