We rescued Brutus a little over a year ago (you can read more about Brutus' time at Hanaeleh here). He has been progressing well, albeit slowly, partly due to his immaturity and partly due to the fact that was very malnourished.

At the time they contacted us, we were full, so we tried to network her, but unfortunately she needed more care than people wished to provide. Aurora now is doing so much better, both physically and mentally. One of Aurora's main issues … [Read more...]
