Saffi was tied up on a homemade leash at the dog market, so she had the ability to move but she chose not too. She really just laid there giving up. She and Chief stayed so close together as if all they had were each other.
Saffi was so tiny and neglected. Her body was just bones. Her tail had been cut off, and this was likely a homemade job too. The vet checked her temperature, and she was over 40 degrees C. He confirmed she’s been used for breeding and that she’s over one year old. But her teeth are evidence of a very bad life and make her look more like four.
Saffi should be so much bigger at this age, but her body is the size of a six-month-old puppy. When we bought her, the owner said she was nine months old, and he swore she was never used for breeding. But we knew this was a like.
Saffi was infested with ticks and blood parasites, and test results showed inflammation of her liver. The vet confirmed this would be a result of the blood parasites damaging her organs. Saffi is also anaemic and severly malnourished.
Saffi gets along with other dogs, but is still very nervous of humans.
