Owners Exploited This Husky Until She Could No Longer Walk And Produce Puppies – This Woman Gave Her A Second Chance In Life
Silvia Rayssa preaches one particular message on her dog’s Instagram: “Better than buying a life, is saving one! Rescue the mistreated, save the injured, love the abandoned…” And the story of this Siberian husky, Maya, is a heartwrenching and then heartwarming testimony to that. One animal rescue story a day reminds us that there are still good people among us, writes boredpanda.
Up until 5 years ago, Maya had only seen the worst side of humanity in her life—she was forced to breed repeatedly in a ‘puppy factory’ in Goiânia, Brazil. Maya was completely worn out and already paraplegic because of the horrible treatment and conditions when she was found. Her irreversible health problems made her useless to the kennel, so they were about to get rid of her. But Rayssa stepped into the rescue and gave this dog a second chance at a happy life and by saving Maya, she also saved herself.
A Siberian husky named Maya was being forced to breed in a kennel in Brazil and had only seen the worst side of humanity
The kennel was going to get rid of her because she was no longer useful to make profit because of her horrible health condition
“I think we have all asked ourselves: ‘is our destiny already set? Or is it all just a fluke?’ I have certainly asked myself this many times…
A colleague (also a protector of animals) received a complaint: the owners of a clandestine kennel were trying to ‘get rid’ of the mother since she was no longer serving to generate profit (puppies), they wanted to give her rat poison to ‘end the suffering of the poor thing.’” Rayssa told Bored Panda.
Maya was severely injured and already paraplegic when she was found in a cold cage.
“August 28, is a date that I will never forget. When we think we have seen everything in this life, I realize that we have never seen enough. We got there and she was lying, totally hurt. She drank her own urine and ate her own feces, a scene that broke my heart. As we put Maya in the car, it was possible to see her relief at leaving that place.”
“She drank her own urine and ate her own feces, a scene that broke my heart,” Rayssa decided to bring the dog home and give her a fresh start
“She became paraplegic because she was beaten up, she was tied up, it was very heavy to hear”
“When we think we have seen everything in this life, I realize that we have never seen enough,” Rayssa said
Maya appeared in Rayssa’s life when they both needed it the most: “she was the one who saved me”
“I have always been passionate about animals, I always felt that I had a different connection with them… After all, how can I explain so much love?
I was in a difficult time in my life, you know when things lose their meaning a little? As if you were losing your strength day after day? I felt that way in the face of all the evil that I saw happening in the world.
I was not living, I was simply existing… I still vividly remember the day when my heart cried out for a ‘big and special animal.’ What I felt in my soul after that, I will never find words to describe…”
“People say that I saved Maya, but I always answer the following: ‘no, she was the one who saved me.’ Maya changed my life, and that of many people with the history of overcoming, compassion, and love that we are still living today. There are no wounds that love cannot heal!
And Maya is a great example of this, she was welcomed with such respect and affection that even the deepest wounds of her soul, today, are just scars that show that she was stronger than what hurt her because her scars are the marks of overcoming that only a warrior has.”
