#DejateSalvar: campaña «Salva un humano»

This super initiative carried out by 5 bloggers ( Lucca La Loca , Cuatro Huellas , Perros con Historia , Romeo & Gara and El Blog de Uma ) with great enthusiasm has the objective of raising awareness and opening minds regarding animal abandonment and the acquisition of animals. And if there is something that unites us, it is the love for our pets (dogs, cats and birds) regardless of whether they are more or less pretty than others. We look further, and in one way or another, our pets have saved us.

What does it mean that they have saved us? Those of us who have had animals all our lives and in my case I am going to talk mainly about dogs, from my personal experience, we are discovering that at first one believes that when adopting a dog (all the dogs I have had in my life have been adopted , never bought, and all have been puppies from unwanted litters) is giving that animal a chance, and that comforts, it makes you feel good, but as time goes by, you realize that you have not saved that animal , but that the animal day by day brings you much more than you imagined, saving you from moments of anguish, moments of sadness, loneliness…

I found Uma by chance in a Facebook group where they gave away different types of pets. It was the second litter of a dog that was only one year old, that is, if in her short life she had had two heats, in both heats she had gotten pregnant (and in her third heat, she got pregnant again!) . It was a litter in which all were females, just what I was looking for, since my last dog was male and I didn’t want a dog that reminded me of him, I wanted a totally different dog, since his death still hurt me ( had died 7 months earlier). I had no idea what Uma was going to be like as an adult, but I didn’t care, because she met the requirements: she was female, small in size and not black (my dog ​​was black), and when we went to see the litter the first time, all the puppies were suckling and Uma was the only one who stopped suckling, came up to us and nibbled on our fingers. It was clear that she had chosen us.

So one Three Kings Day arrived at my house as one of the best gifts of my life. Fortunately, her three sisters were also able to be adopted, however, Uma and another of her sisters developed an eye problem: tear gland prolapse, from which Uma has completely recovered thanks to three surgical interventions (she is a champion !), but her sister did not suffer the same fate… The adopters not only did not operate on her for her problem, which could have led her to lose the tear function of her eyes, but they abandoned her in a shelter, claiming that In the apartment where they lived they did not allow him to have animals. Very suspicious, right? They had no problems with the dog until she developed the eye problem, and since they didn’t want to spend money on the dog, it was better to get rid of her.

This is just an example of two realities: that of two sisters with different destinies, destinies that depend solely and exclusively on us, on human beings. That is why I believe that this humble campaign can help people who are considering adopting a dog reflect. We want to spread the message #DejateSalvar through our experiences and through a clear message: the responsibility of adopting an animal as a lifelong commitment. Taking into account care, feeding, needs, veterinary expenses, etc. which means that you don’t have to spend a single euro on buying animals when there are thousands in shelters waiting for an opportunity to be part of a family and that they will fill your life with light, spark, joy, unconditional love, companionship,… like Uma has done since the first day she entered our house.
