Albano is a special little puppy, one of those puppies that look straight into your heart. Saved from the middle of the road by a family of Italians who had come to Romania, he and his sisters, Romina and Sofia, arrived at the shelter with the hope that they would be given a chance at a better life. The image of seven puppies on the asphalt in the middle of the road, four of them already killed by another car, one injured and two others paralyzed with fear, unable to leave their brothers, who were gone, but especially the injured brother who could not move, could not leave the two Italian tourists indifferent.

Of the three surviving cubs, Albano is the unluckiest: for the moment he cannot use his back paws. Despite his special needs, he managed to find peace at Speranța Shelter, but his destiny was different from that of his sisters Romina and Sofia, who have already found loving families. He was left alone, a brave little fighter, waiting his turn for a new chance.

Albano will probably become the shelter’s new “full paraplegic”. Until then, we would appreciate any help we can get, as the poor little guy is awaiting many tests, X-rays and treatments with which we hope to give him the chance of a better, pain-free life.

Please adopt Albano from afar.
