Adopter Giselle

Kryssbrett · Hunn

Giselle’s story is one of unimaginable suffering—and extraordinary resilience. Giselle came to us in early 2021 as our most complex case to date. She had been hit by an HGV lorry and left at the side of the road for six days, suffering in severe pain while the world passed her by. Flori’s Friends found her on a traffic camera Once she was finally safe, it became clear that her injuries were devastating. She had suffered a complete spinal break, and because she had been left for so long, her spine had fused together. On top of this, her front left leg was severed and needed amputation. Giselle was left with only one working leg, and she needed a prosthetic and a custom-made cart to regain her mobility. She underwent a complex amputation of her back legs, as they were no longer functional after the spinal break. After surgery, she began the long journey of recovery with the help of our founder, Natalia. Slowly, she adapted to a four-wheeled wheelchair and began to move again for the first time since the accident. Next came her prosthetic leg, and months of hydrotherapy to strengthen her chest and build the muscles she would need. This was all to prepare her for the next milestone—transitioning to a two-wheeled cart so she could experience as much freedom and mobility as possible. After months of relentless care and determination, Giselle achieved something incredible. She successfully transitioned to a two-wheeled cart and is now living her best life at the rescue. She is the fastest dog in the rescue, bounding through the countryside for hours every day, full of joy and spirit. But Giselle’s needs are complex. She is incontinent and requires high-level care to keep her healthy and happy. Because of this, she will remain with Flori’s Friends for life. By sponsoring Giselle, you can help ensure she continues to receive the intensive care she needs to thrive—so she can keep living the life she fought so hard to get back. Giselle’s annual care includes: Shoulder and below X-rays to monitor for osteoarthritis from using a prosthesis Regular urine testing to check bladder health Giselle has already survived the worst of humanity. Now she deserves the very best of love.
