This is Soma.
Sick, exhausted, starving....she crawled into someone's yard and found the most furthest spot she could find, curled up into a ball, and there she stayed. The look on her face says it all. She was completely defeated.
She didn't cry. She had no more strength for that.
She didn't beg for food. Her hunger had become a constant ache - something that became her "norm".
She didn't scratch at the door to come in. Why would she? This world has told her that she was garbage, that she was not worthy of anything.
She was content to lay in the dirt, forgotten in the corner of a yard.
But that was not to be her fate. The person who found her called her neighbor, Leah Ann Frost, who just happens to be in rescue. It is Leah Ann who would turn out to be her savior. In that moment that she was discovered, her life went from dismal to hopeful. However her fight has only just begun.
Her skin is ravaged with infection - bacterial and fungal. She is missing about 80% of her fur. She was covered - literally infested - with fleas resulting in her being anemic. Wounds pepper her body - their origins unknown - each one telling her story.
Last night her foster moms went to bed with Soma sleeping on the floor in the room that they created for her decompresion. She did not lay on the beds that were placed down for her. It's common that we see this. They don't know what a "bed" is. It's gut wrenching - something so simple as a bed - and they dare not lay it. "That can't possibly be for me....". By the morning, she had crawled onto one of those "forbidden" beds and was fast asleep. I think she finally realized what was happening. I think she finally breathed that deep sigh of relief.....crawled onto her bed....and slept the deep peaceful sleep of those that know they are now finally safe.
Please consider helping us continue to fight for Soma. There is nothing but promise for her from this point forward. We just need to get her through the neglect and abuse that has taken it's toll on her.
But we need ur help to do that. <3
