Her Rescue Story – A Tale of Courage and Hope
LIZA’s story is one of unthinkable terror and miraculous survival. She lived in a quiet village with an elderly woman who had a heart for rescuing the smallest and most vulnerable stray dogs—those too fragile to fend for themselves.
But one day, a devastating tragedy unfolded. The woman’s adult son, who had struggled with schizophrenia but had been stable for years, experienced a catastrophic breakdown after heavy drinking. His anger exploded into violence, first directed at his mother, whom he chased from their home with an axe.
With his mother out of reach, his fury turned toward the tiny, innocent dogs. When the police arrived, they found a horrifying scene: five dogs had been killed, their remains scattered. Yet, miraculously, LIZA and a few of her companions had managed to hide, trembling but alive.
Rescue volunteers were contacted immediately and rushed to the scene, saving the surviving dogs. LIZA was among them. Despite the nightmare she endured, her gentle, loving nature remains unbroken. Now safe, LIZA is ready to find the kind, patient family she so deeply deserves.
