Tina and Garik. Dogs living at the factory. Both dogs are in extremely poor condition.
Tina has a tumor, and more than one. She is in a German shelter and is waiting in line to have her tumor removed.
Garik is a rather young and very affectionate dog with a human look, in a very serious condition – exhausted, ascites, dirofilariasis, his heart is simply “in the trash” – in the clinic.
You can’t imagine how humane and smart they are. How grateful they are for everything in the world. For the look, for the attention, for even just petting them. What a rare trait these days is gratitude…
You can, of course, write a million times about how they could have brought him to such a state, but it still won’t change anything. After the New Year, they would simply die of hunger, because the enterprise is closing.
Garik really needs your help. Treatment will last 3 months. And it’s very expensive. But we must cure him, we simply must give him a chance!

Garik and Tina's Story
21 December 2023
Hello everyone from Garik!
The treatment gradually begins to give a small, but result – in an hour with us he never coughed!
We paid for a week of his staying in the clinic and left 500 hryvnia in cash for prednisolone.

Greetings to you all from Garik).
He has a very good doctor. The stomach is no longer so bloated. The eyes are not so red.
He is praised here. They say he is a very smart dog. He took a walk, entered the cage himself, and endured it.
And he just “sticks” to people). Wants affection all the time!
Loves everyone! Loves like crazy! With all his heart, with all his sick heart!
Such a soulful fellow that he simply cannot help but break his heart. I want to be with him all the time!
We need to take him to our shelter. The main thing is not to interrupt treatment. First, he will go for a ride, then to the clinic.
Thanks to all of you, the tests were paid for! Thank you for your help!
P.S.: The diagnosis of dirofilariasis was confirmed… Poor Garik…
And also today, the BU “Shelter for the Protection and Help of Homeless Animals” responded to our request and took Tina, Garik’s mother, to their place!
Thank you very much guys for your help! She couldn’t come at a better time, because the situation is very difficult – Tina has a tumor…

Dear friends, help save Garik!!!
Garik is a dog who lives at the factory. Nobody needs a dog, just like his mother, who is also seriously ill.
The other day we picked him up from the factory and took him to the hospital. Obedient, gentle, unhappy Garik rejoiced at the unexpected attention and expected that they would help him now and that he would be healthy. But, unfortunately, a lot of money is needed to help him. Garik’s treatment will cost more than 50,000 hryvnia!
Garik as a person. Look into his eyes, he knows how to talk with them. Garik loves people very much, reaches out to them, and, like a puppy, affectionately licks the hands of those who show care and give him something to eat. With all his little dog heart, which still does not know pain and betrayal, he sincerely BELIEVES PEOPLE and loves people. Because he doesn’t know that not feeding him is not normal, that not putting him in a kennel is not normal, that if he doesn’t have water, that’s not normal, that there is no collar and a chain around his neck is not normal!
What is he guilty of? For him, Life now is an amazing kind World. He follows people passing by, looking for understanding and compassion in their hearts, feeling kindness and human warmth.
We must fight for him, just fight and give him a chance, a chance to live! It is absolutely impossible, looking at him, not to give him this chance! I really want to help him! And I ask you to help me!

Today we started rescuing two dogs – mother Tina and son Garik.
I watched these dogs on Facebook. I watched and wrote to Lilya constantly. It was obvious that there were many problems there. We provided them with food, Lilya came to feed them, gave them old kennels from the shelter, and bought them collars.
But these efforts were clearly not enough. They need treatment. The girl is old, she has a huge tumor, the guy is coughing, his stomach is swollen. And abandoning them means dooming them to certain, painful death.
Have you ever noticed how they look? It’s worth holding your gaze on them for a split second – and hope will sparkle there – “Will you save me?” And then these eyes go out, become sad and look away. Because they are ashamed of us.
And Garik was really ashamed. But somewhere inside him had a faint hope that they would not abandon him, that they would help him. A small, almost imperceptible, pinpoint of hope. Garik simply tears your soul into pieces with his gaze. And you can’t help but answer him – Baby, help us cure you! Everything can be fixed, including overcoming the pain you experience! Let your eyes shine with love and hope, you will not be abandoned or let down!
…Garik was taken to the clinic today. He is, of course, very heavy. The examination begins tomorrow. We’ll take his old mother Tina on Monday; there’s a serious tumor there.
All tests were taken, after 3 days it will be clear that it is dirofilariasis.
Unfortunately, the preliminary diagnosis is Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Ascites… There are no words…
…We did everything we could. It seems that Western sponsors have gotten involved. What if these dogs are really lucky and can get a decent life after treatment?
