Background:

Haven was rescued on 17 May 2015 from a fish farm. She was emaciated and confined in a small area with no food, water or shelter provided. Farm owners denied that the dog belonged to them and said they did not know how she ended up in the fish farm. We approached with food and milk and she gobbled up everything immediately. We asked the farm owners if we could take the dog away. They agreed. 

 

Personality:

She is fearful of other dogs for a start because she had no social interaction with other dogs till she met us. She can be protective of her food, probably because she has been starved for a long time.
