Found dying in a field

Sheila

Shiela was dying in a field in Romania by our partner of Save the Dogs and other animals. Her belly had a deep gash made by a knife. She was most likely the innocent victim of a feud between two neighbours. Sheila was pregnant. Following a 7-hour long operation and 65 stitches, she gradually recovered. 10 months later she was well enough to give birth to Filippo without any help.

She now lives as part of a large group at Silvio's barn. She is in excellent health but doesn't like to be approached or touched by strangers.
