Noah, a small dog burdened by illness and neglect, found solace and love in her final days thanks to the Fundación Laika Protectora de Animales. This story is a testament to the power of compassion and the ability to find joy even in difficult circumstances.
They took a terminally ill dog to the sea, making her happy until her last breath
Rescued from a life of misery
On a rainy day, Noah was discovered in a deplorable state. Confined to a cramped cage, her long, neglected nails resembled claws. Her frail body, visible through patchy fur, bore the telltale signs of numerous tumors. The foundation, alerted to her plight, immediately intervened. They rescued her from the wet cage and rushed her to a veterinarian.
Despite their efforts and medication, a thorough examination revealed the heartbreaking truth. Advanced arthritis, renal disease, and heart damage left Noah’s condition terminal. While a cure wasn’t possible, Laika vowed to make her remaining time as comfortable and loving as possible.

A final adventure: The beach and a farewell
Knowing Noah’s time was limited, Laika planned a special outing. They took her to the beach, a place most dogs can only dream of. The warm sunshine, cool breeze, and sound of the waves must have been a welcome change from the confines of the shelter. As the sun dipped towards the horizon, casting an orange glow across the sky, Noah watched the waves roll in.
This beach trip was more than just a scenic escape. It was a final farewell, a chance for Noah to experience the simple joys of life she had been denied for so long. Surrounded by the people who had shown her kindness, she drew her final breath, leaving behind a legacy of courage and the reminder that even a short life filled with love can be a meaningful one.

Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of compassion and the importance of showing kindness to animals in need.
