What you will learn

This tiny puppy was lying lifeless on the road. No one came forward to help her, except a young schoolgirl! At first, she thought the puppy was dead, but when she saw shallow breaths, she knew the pup deserved a fighting chance. Babe was rushed to Karma Foundation but she was in a coma. The tiny soul could barely breathe and she was bleeding profusely from her mouth and anus. They didn’t think she would survive but Babe’s a strong little fighter and in 48 hours she gave everyone a big ray of hope that she would pull through!

Babe has suffered permanent brain damage and is partially blind, but just like every other puppy, she yearned for a family to love and play with! Sadly, people didn’t see her as anything more than her disabilities and she was left disappointed. Luckily, this is exactly what VOSD was built for! We took Babe in under our “Blind dog” category without any surrender fees and gave her a place to call home.

Babe never thought she would have such a big, loving family! She’s a whirlwind of energy who cannot sit still for over 30 seconds and loves to run and explore the Sanctuary. For a dog who can’t see very well, it’s amazing how confident she is of her way around her space. She never bumps into walls or gates, and knows exactly where her bed or water bowl is. She’s super friendly with people and dogs alike and is growing up to be a beautiful girl. Her best friends are one-eyed Anokhi and a few of our other special needs babies like Mohan, Pari, and Bandya. For a tiny dog, she has a WHALE of an appetite and can eat as much as our Rottweilers do!
