RAFAELO
Mixed Breed · Female
Rafaelo – A resilient soul fighting for a better future Rafaelo was found at the end of December wandering like a ghost in the village of Filoti. From the very beginning, we realized something was wrong. He appeared to have a vision disorder, and his behavior was like that of a dog with no life experience. He followed us but never ran to enjoy his freedom. He seemed afraid in a very unusual way and showed almost no emotions. Two weeks later, we found him nearly unconscious after a severe epileptic seizure, followed by many more the same day. After his first veterinary visit in Naxos and the start of medication, further examination was strongly recommended. Once treatment began, it was like meeting a completely different dog — active, ears up, making eye contact, finding his voice, and becoming more engaged with the world. As he started stabilizing he also began muzzle and harness training. In mid-January, Rafaelo traveled to Syros with a volunteer escort to visit a veterinary clinic. He stayed there for two weeks and underwent extensive testing, including an abdominal ultrasound, brain CT scan, blood tests, and was also neutered. The diagnosis suggests a form of encephalitis, likely responsible for his vision problems and epileptic seizures. Today, Rafaelo is back with us, stable and showing us an even sweeter, more open side of his character. We are by his side, fighting for his better future. 🙏 Please help us cover the significant medical expenses of Rafaelo’s journey — we cannot continue without your support. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference in Rafaelo’s life. Thank you for standing with him. ❤️🐾 PHOTO ALBUM: CLICK HERE
