Our Angels

Körbican

When Körbican was about 2 months old living on the street, someone noticed that she couldn’t see and alerted Fatma. She took her to several vets but from birth Körbican had no eyes and nothing could be done. Fatma couldn’t forget Körbican, though, and so she added her to her pack. She is now 9 years old.

Reyhan

Fatma found Reyhan in the woods at two months old with legs apparently damaged at birth. It was determined that nothing could be done to correct her condition, but having lived with this all her life, Reyhan has figured out how to maneuver and get around, although in a very limited way.

One leg is totally paralyzed, the other although totally straight, has some mobility especially if she needs to scratch! In spite of what seems like a horrendous condition to us, she is a happy dog who absolutely adores being scratched and loved.

Kupa

When Kupa was about 20 days old a family vacationing in the area found her and brought her to Fatma. Kupa was infested with parasites, ticks, and fleas. She was having convulsions and suddenly went blind. Fatma doctored her, Kupa’s eyesight returned, and now at 4 years old she is one of the dynamos of the shelter.

Mutlu

Mutlu was brought to the shelter to be boarded for a month until his family was settled in Germany. That was 6 years ago. He’s still waiting…..

Johnny

Johnny was a survivor of the 2023 earthquake in the Hatay area. He is now the Pack Leader for the large dog area.

Daisy

After a dispute with her owner over which fowl were hers Daisy came to join our family.

Dino

Fatma rescued Dino when his right rear paw was shattered by gunfire and his hip was injured. She painstakingly removed all the bone fragments but he ultimately lost two of his toes.. Now Dino is the shelter's big teddy bear.
