Feb 05, 2019 by apost team

It’s not uncommon to treat our pets like children because they bring so much joy to our lives. Many people see their pets as part of the family and treat them as such. However, not everyone appreciates pets as much as you’d think. We often hear stories about pets that have been abused, neglected, or kept in inhumane circumstances.

Although there are legal punishments for treating animals in a cruel manner, that doesn’t stop everyone. For one dog, named Cala, she was one of those dogs that just wasn’t as fortunate as other pet animals.

Cala's story will break your heart, but it's an important lesson to hear about how to care for our animals properly. Cala was kept as a guard dog for a mechanic in Costa Rica. The owner, who worked in San Jose, kept Cala on a chain that was not nearly long enough for her.

She was unable to rest her head and was having trouble breathing. She never got vet visits when needed, and she often went without food. The owner neglected her, so she had no trust in humans and was never treated how a dog should be. Thankfully, Cala will one day get her happy ending.

Neighbors of Cala’s owner had watched the conditions she was being kept under for many years. They decided to report him to the police for animal cruelty and notified a nearby shelter about her whereabouts. Thankfully, Cala was rescued by some very kind professionals, but her story doesn’t end there.

Cala needed medical attention for emaciation, malnutrition and also some wounds that she received in her time as a guard dog. The animal shelter that decided to take care of Cala is called Territorio de Zaguates, and they noted that Cala looked like she was about to give up her fight when they first saw her.

It was difficult for her to stand up because of how malnourished she was, and the chains that she wore caused lacerations and other wounds on her body. Cala was a distrustful animal when entering the shelter, especially when she had to endure the pain that comes with cleaning her wounds.

Thankfully, no one gave up on her and she was given all the care that she needed by the hands of a few heroes at the shelter.

If Cala wasn’t rescued immediately, she definitely would have passed away from all of her health problems that came at the hand of her neglectful and abusive owner. It would be a hard road to recovery for Cala, but even after she was rescued from her nightmare situation, Cala still went through more hardships that came from more cruel humans.

During one summer, criminals snuck into the animal shelter in order to try to murder some of the animals with sausages that they had poisoned. Although sixteen dogs suffered fatalities, Cala stuck through the situation and managed to survive.

Thankfully, it was due to her sheer size and strength that she made it through the vicious attack. Although she had some neurological issues after the incident, she was nursed back to health quickly.

For now, Cala lives with a family that is hosting her. She has finally learned how to coexist with other humans and animals. She’s happy, strong because of all she endured, and can be stubborn but is still spoiled by her new host parents.

Cala is proof that no matter how much hardship we go through, we can still find our happy endings. When Cala’s story first broke into the media, people are outraged about how she had been treated her entire life.

Her story broke hearts around the globe and left people wondering how anyone could treat animals so cruelly. Would you consider adopting a rescue dog like Cala? What do you think about her story?
