Adopt Buone notizie per Martino, vecchio cane rimasto solo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 15 years

Apaca has followed Martino's story from the very beginning, the 15-year-old husky who was left alone after carbon monoxide took both of his elderly owners, found dead in their house in Rivamonte at the start of November. A tragedy within a tragedy, which some volunteers from Agordino have taken care of, including Iliana, with whom Apaca has always been in contact, posting on her Facebook page the adoption ad and also offering accommodation in case no one volunteered to help Martino. After some unsuccessful attempts, recently a young couple from Taibon came forward, offering the dog a large terrace and a new bed, a solution that seems ideal for a dog who has rejected a couple of indoor placements, constantly howling and refusing food. Martino, in fact, is a dog used to being outdoors and the solution of the spacious terrace with the possibility - if he wants - to enter the house seems really the best. Moreover, the young people are doing their best to get the old dog used to the new habits, something that is not always easy for elderly animals: however, the fact that Martino shows he really appreciates walks (which he probably hadn't done for years) gives a lot of hope!

Apaca ha seguito fin dai primi momenti la vicenda di Martino, l'husky di 15 anni rimasto solo dopo che il monossido di carbonio ha portato via entrambi i suoi anziani proprietari, trovati morti nella casa di Rivamonte ai primi di novembre. Una tragedia nella tragedia, di cui si sono occupate alcune volontarie dell'Agordino, tra cui Iliana, con cui Apaca è rimasta sempre in contatto, pubblicando nella propria pagina Facebook l'inserzione per l'adozione e dando anche la disponibilità di un ricovero nel caso in cui nessuno si offrisse di aiutare Martino. Dopo qualche tentativo andato a vuoto, nei giorni scorsi, una giovane coppia di Taibon si è fatta avanti, offrendo al cane una grande terrazza e una cuccia nuova, una soluzione che sembra ideale per un cane che ha rifiutato un paio di sistemazioni all'interno delle abitazioni, ululando costantemente e rifiutando il cibo. Martino è, infatti, un cane abituato a stare all'aperto e la soluzione dell'ampia terrazza con possibilità – se vuole – di entrare in casa sembra davvero la migliore. Inoltre i ragazzi ce la stanno mettendo tutta anche per abituare il vecchio cane alle nuove abitudini, cosa che per gli animali anziani non è sempre facile: il fatto, però, che Martino dimostri di apprezzare moltissimo le passeggiate (che probabilmente non faceva da anni) lascia davvero ben sperare!
