Canela was commonly seen around the Crespo area as one of those well-known street dogs. She was part of a spay-and-release program (not run by Cartagena Paws) that left her with an open wound that would not heal. One of our volunteers noticed the wound was not closing, and reached out about getting her care along with a forever home. Mascotas 24 Horas and Dr. Ximena worked together to correct her spay, but learned that she had heartworm as well. She underwent heartworm treatment with Poblado and is doing well! After months of treatment, she is in foster care with Poblado and Mona in Medellin.

Pino was found New Year’s Day by good samaritans that were actually out searching for another injured dog (Poblado). While searching around the Cielo Mar neighborhood, they found Pino in dire condition. He was crying, barely able to walk, and extremely thin. His penis was stuck outside of the foreskin and he was being attacked by other male dogs. The neighbors said that he had been stuck inside of a female dog for days. When he finally was able to detach, his penis would not retract. No one had helped either dog. Pino was immediately taken to urgent care (we could not find the female dog he was previously attached to). Mascotas 24 Horas decided that his health was so deteriorated that they needed him to survive basic care before they could do anything about his paraphimosis (the condition where his penis would not retract). Thankfully, though only skin and bones, he survived and did not need an amputation. After days at Mascotas 24 Horas, he was transferred to Dr. Ximena’s, where she continued specialized feedings and treatments until he was healthy enough to go into foster. Currently, he is in a foster home in Medellin with his foster brother Chucho.

Poblado was originally seen on New Year’s Eve. Someone had chopped his tail off with a machete, exposing the bones and nerves. Rescues went out to look for him, but found Pino instead in dire need. Though Pino was rescued, we never forgot about Poblado and sent volunteers to look for him regularly. Days later, we found him and his wound was starting to heal. We took him to urgent care at Mascotas 24 Horas, where they determined that they did not need to amputate more of his tail, and there was not severe nerve damage. Poblado was later transferred to Dr. Ximena’s. Since then, we learned that Poblado was the pet of a man in Cielo Mar who sold his house and moved. When he moved, he abandoned his dog on the property even though he knew they were going to demolish the house. Poblado lived in the rubble, waiting for his owner to return. Since he had no food or water, he would scavenge on the beach. To get there, he needed to walk through the mangroves. During one walk in the mangroves, locals attacked him and cut off his tail. To add to his misfortune, while in vet care it was discovered that Poblado had heartworm. He underwent heartworm treatment over the past few months, but handled it like a champion. While his story is painful, Poblado was given a second chance and is now with a foster in Medellin.

Mona was found wandering the streets of Cartagena, sick and lonely, by one of our wonderful volunteers. She took Mona in and paid for her treatment at Mascotas 24 Horas. The volunteer reached out to us in hopes of finding her a new, loving home. Mona is an utter sweetheart so of course we decided to help! Since then, Mona has been capturing the hearts of everyone she meets at the vet and in foster. She is currently in Medellin with Poblado and Canela.
