Dog Anja

We have often been able to help animals out of difficult situations. We have accompanied many animal hoarding cases, but no animal rescue has touched us so deeply. An official veterinarian contacted us by phone and asked us to take in 30 small dogs. Three hours after the call, the animal rescuers from Gut Aiderbichl were on site to take them over. When the door was opened for us, about 20 small dogs stood barking in the doorway. Covered from top to bottom with feces and dirt. Only at that point we realized the full extent of the situation. And although the residents did not allow us to enter the house, they were cooperative. Through the door they handed us 30 dogs, not a single one more. Their condition was pitiful and it broke our hearts. To leave here knowing that there were other dogs in the house broke our hearts, but at that moment we had no recourse. A few days later, we were given the opportunity to take in the remaining 38 dogs. All of them were first cared for and looked after at Gut Aiderbichl Maria Schmolln. It took a lot of time, patience, love and above all financial means to give each dog the medical care it needed. They all went through a terrible trauma, survived an unbelievable attitude and still did not lose their trust and unconditional love in humans. In the meantime, all the dogs, including Anja, have found their people, but continue to be under the protection of Gut Aiderbichl and have the right to return home at any time.
