Dear donor and friend. Once upon a time, there was a noble Pitbull mix, who for unknown reasons lived for a long while on a parking lot. He was well-known there, educated, decent and caring. The employees and frequent clients loved his kindness, his bright smile and politeness. Although there was a dog feeder full of kibble, food became scarce and was never enough for our handsome lord Sunshine, because he was not the only inhabitant of that place. Then, an accident changed his life. Jerito, as we named him, was hit by a truck, that destroyed completely his hind leg. The pain was unbearable, and his smile faded. Jerito urgently needed painkillers, medical attention, surgery. One person took responsibility and brought him to an orthopedic vet clinic, where the leg had to be amputated. And again, even at the hospital, Jerito continued to conquer the hearts of the staff, with his unique smile and his distinguished manners. Obviously we could not send him back to the parking lot, so he joined us in the shelter, and we’ve never met such a happy and grateful sunshine before. Jerito enjoys every minute of his new life, he loves the soups, his mattress, the sun, his fellow buddies, the visits, and when it comes to his favourite activity, being groomed and massaged, he feels like an important member of royalty.
