Meet Tota 🧡

I was born at Hambantota Port in 2021 and I am a Short Spine Syndrome dog. My genetic condition is very rare and my chances of surviving a life as a stray dog in Sri Lanka, were slim. My legs are deformed, I walk in a funny way, I have no neck and some muscle wastage. I was also covered in ticks and had a dangerous blood disease called babesia gibsoni.

​

I had almost given up on life as the odds were against me, but was then rescued by Animal SOS. They saved me, they nursed me through tick fever and most important of all, they love me just as I am.

​

I have lived happily at the sanctuary ever since. I have beautiful soft beds and toys that I love ripping up. I love romping in the garden and despite my size, have the loudest voice at the sanctuary.

​

I am a survivor. I am hugely loved and I was given a second chance. I will be forever grateful for that.
