SONNY’s Rescue Story
SONNY’s life has been a whirlwind of joy and heartbreak. Once abandoned, she was rehomed, and it seemed like her story had reached its happy ending. But that happiness was short-lived. Her family vanished, likely fleeing the horrors of war, leaving SONNY behind to fend for herself.
Initially, rescuers thought she was safe on the streets during the warm summer days. Volunteers provided food and water, believing she would be fine for a short time until a foster home became available. Tragically, this assumption proved wrong. After just five days, SONNY disappeared. She was found in a ditch, her tiny body battered, with a deep gash on her head and covered in blood.
Rushed to the clinic, it was a miracle that no bones were broken and her eyes remained unharmed. The wound was determined to be from a knife—not an accident, but a deliberate act of cruelty. Who could harm such a small, innocent soul remains a mystery. Despite her ordeal, SONNY’s resilience shone through, and she healed completely without any lasting physical issues. Now, SONNY is safe and ready to find her forever home, where she’ll never have to face such horrors again.
