THE UPDATE EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR…. EDDIE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
EDDIE – RESCUED Jan 16, 2025 @ 6:53 PM from a GARBAGE BIN in Peyia, Cyprus
HIS COURAGEOUS UPDATE – Jan 28, 2025 (13 days later)
Eddie, a resilient soul who’s been through more than most of us could imagine. Thrown away like garbage, discarded to suffocate and die in a bin, Eddie was given a second chance at life, and he’s fighting with everything he has to embrace it.
Since being rescued, Eddie has made incredible progress. He’s still gaining weight, regaining strength, and working on his coordination and balance, but his spirit is as strong as ever. Though he’s not fully out of the woods yet, we’re being optimistic about his recovery. His teeth are in very poor condition and his ears are also infected. Once he’s stable enough, Eddie will undergo surgery to remove a tumor from his thyroid, a big step towards getting him back to full health.
The good news? Eddie is now in FOSTER CARE with a wonderful lady who also has a rescue dog from the island. In his new home, Eddie has a loving companion who will teach him everything he needs to know about house living and show him just how abundant love can and should be. No more harm, no more fear—only safety, warmth, and kindness from here on out.
Eddie’s courage is a testament for all other animals suffering from animal abuse, that there are good people out there that truly care and will do everything they can to help.
We are beyond grateful for the amazing professionals PaphosVets Animal Hospital in Kissonegra, for all the messages of support, and to everyone who could spare a donation to support his current and ongoing medical needs.
Stay strong, Eddie. You are loved.
