Dear

Blatu was never supposed to end up at a sanctuary.

She had a loving home. A family. A life wrapped in routine, comfort, and affection. But when serious illness forced her humans to relocate for long-term medical care, they were faced with a heartbreaking reality: they could no longer keep the dog they adored. With shattered hearts, they entrusted Blatu to us - asking only that we love her the way they no longer could. Of course, we didn’t hesitate.

And just like that, overnight, everything Blatu knew was gone.

What makes her story even more poignant is this: Blatu’s life began in tragedy. As a puppy, she was the only survivor after neighbors poisoned her mother and entire litter. Against all odds, she lived. An English-Thai couple rescued her, gave her safety, and offered her four beautiful years of love, stability, and joy. She finally had the life every dog deserves.

Then, it was taken from her - again.

Her owner became seriously ill and required repeated hospital visits hours away. Eventually, the couple had to relocate entirely for treatment. They searched desperately for someone to take Blatu. When no one could, they turned to us for help. They had long supported the sanctuary, so we didn’t hesitate to drive nearly 75 miles (120 kilometers) to bring Blatu safely home with us. The goodbye was devastating - but it was the final act of love they could give her.

Today, Blatu is one of the gentlest souls in our care. She’s calm, patient, wonderful with other dogs, and especially kind with puppies. Her coat catches the sunlight - shifting from snowy white to warm, beach-blonde gold. She carries herself with a quiet dignity… as though she’s still waiting for someone to call her family again.

And one day, we truly hope that happens.

Until then, Blatu - and every rescue in our care - depends entirely on the compassion of people like you. Every single day, they need nutritious food, medicine, preventive care, and a safe place to heal. Your generosity is what makes all of that possible.

Will you donate today to help care for Blatu and the many animals who rely on our sanctuary for survival?

Any amount truly makes a difference. Thank you SO much.

With heartfelt gratitude,

P.S. Blatu didn’t choose to lose her home - but with your help, she will never lose hope. Please donate today if you can. Your kindness ensures she and so many others receive the love, food, and medical care they need every single day.

P.P.S. Blatu is SO lovable and deserves a forever home.  Might that be yours?  She is about 7 years old and weighs just 18 pounds (8 kilos). If adoption might be a possibility, please contact me at [email protected].
