Hoping for a “Christmas miracle” after emergency

As the owner is seriously ill and can no longer come home, the dogs "Sindy" and "Max" are looking for a new home. The two would like to be taken in together.

They are inseparable, their fates closely linked: "Max", a six-year-old mongrel, and "Sindy", 15 years old and as small as a Maltese, face an uncertain future. Until now, a pensioner from the Oberpullendorf district has lovingly looked after the adorable dogs. But now the owner has been taken completely by surprise by a serious illness, shortly afterwards she was still fighting an insidious blood poisoning. And the next shock was not long in coming.

Family with a big heart asked for help
As a tragic consequence of her health ordeal, one of the Burgenland girl's legs had to be amputated. "The serious illness has not only hit the pensioner particularly hard, her beloved dogs are also suffering. The owner, to whom both faithful four-legged companions are attached, can no longer come home. In future, the woman will have to be cared for in a nursing home," says Eleonore Schandl from the animal boarding kennel in Draßmarkt.

Hoping for a miracle
She has taken "Sindy" and "Max" into her care for the time being. She is now looking for a family with a garden and a big heart to offer the two "homeless" dogs a new home. "The more sensitive 'Max' whines immediately when 'Sindy' is not near him," says Eleonore Schandl: "Everyone is now hoping for a little Christmas miracle."
