Solsol (20260529-02)

My story

WEACT received a shocking report about a dog who could barely take a step, struggling to move under the weight of a tumor as large as a rock. After seeing the photos, the team rushed to the site immediately. The massive tumor dragged along the ground every time she moved, causing open wounds and making even basic actions, including relieving herself, extremely difficult. The situation was even more serious than expected. In the deepest part of the backyard, hidden beneath trees where little sunlight reached, we discovered a wooden box. Inside were several frightened puppies, only about six months old, huddled together and trembling in fear, surrounded by their own waste. WEACT rescued all eight dogs from the property and Solsol was one of them. Overall, Solsol is a sweet girl who is learning to trust people and blossom at her own gentle pace. Solsol grew up in an unfamiliar and frightening environment before she could experience the warmth of human touch. Because of that, she can still be a little cautious at first, so it is important to approach her slowly and gently when meeting her for het first time. Once she becomes familiar, she doesnt hesitate to ask for pets and to play together! An ideal family would be one who understands that trust takes time and offer patience, time, and gentle guidance. With patience and love, she will become a truly wonderful family member.
