On November 17, 2022, a heart-wrenching discovery was made. Vena, a distressed animal, was found huddled in a sewage drain.

How she ended up there remains a mystery, but her cries alerted rescuers to her presence. It was pitch black inside, and locating her proved difficult. My heart ached as we finally managed to lift her out.

She was covered in dirt, trembling uncontrollably, and struggling to move due to a severely injured front leg.
