About Bat

Bat has already been through a long journey with us. He even spent a little time in a new home, but because he's a complicated dog and, on top of that, suffers from serious health issues, he came back to us. From a desperate wreck, covered in weeping skin lesions and with paws that were literally falling apart, he's turned into a handsome and charming boy. When he first arrived in 2022, he was like a body without a soul-just lying there, only eating from the hand, in pain. Together with our vets, we managed to get him back on his feet. Despite the tough diagnosis of systemic lupus, thanks to special diets, skin care, and medication, he's managing-and most importantly, he's enjoying life again. Bat is a unique character. He loves walks and rolling in the grass. He's incredibly cuddly and a total foodie-he could eat from morning till night. We now know that his time with us is limited, but as long as he has joy and wants to keep fighting, we'll fight with him! 10/2022 Bat's story with us started with a phone call from a vet: 'There's a dog here with a skin infection. Can you take him in?' And how does Bat see it? Hi folks, I'm Bat, and I was supposed to be done for. Just a few days ago, my owners took me to the vet-first saying I needed treatment, but soon they were discussing the 'final injection.' Why? I don't know. Luckily for me, the doctor explained that this isn't how things should be handled and arranged for me to go to Vo��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BD��%BDkov. They're known for taking in dogs that have bitten someone at some point. And yes, I admit-I've done that too. Now I'm in the shelter, and I've got a second chance at life. Bat is about two years old, a mixed breed, weighing 40 kg. He's a bit timid, but he likes the people he knows. Unfortunately, he was supposed to be put down. He bit his owner; they couldn't handle him and didn't raise him properly. They were afraid of him and unable to deal with his health issues, which escalated badly. In the end, they considered the worst solution-letting him go. Nowadays, when people are giving up their dogs in shocking numbers, shelters are bursting at the seams, adoptions are stagnating, and we can't take in more dogs, I hear the words 'we'll have to put him down' far too often. I'm starting to be afraid to answer the phone. Will it be another threat of euthanasia? What if it's not just a threat, and another innocent animal loses its life because we had no room? It's depressing and mentally exhausting. Bat was lucky in his misfortune. But he suffers from a severe skin infection-his lesions bleed when touched, and his paws are basically disintegrating. He can't walk well. He's in pain, and his whole coat is unbearably itchy.
