A Cuban woman urgently requested help for a puppy in Havana that was left abandoned after its owners sold the house.
Gilda Arencibia shared a photo of the animal on her Facebook wall, which was abandoned in a house that was sold, and the new owners do not want it.
"Adopt and change the luck of this little one, for 'they' have no right to take them to 'sacrifice'. I support 52968413," she said.
The post was also shared in the Facebook group "Perritos Callejeros en Cuba (official group)."
Cases of animal abandonment are common in Cuba. Many dogs, cats, and horses are at the mercy of their owners' abuse due to the government's inaction regarding animal protection.
At the beginning of the month, the story of a dog in Mayabeque emerged, whose owners emigrated and left it in the care of a person who no longer wanted to take responsibility for it.
He was a two-year-old pitbull with skin issues but was treated with medication and his overall health was good.
The person in charge of him expressed intentions to sacrifice him if a solution was not found.
In July, an animal rights activist in Mayabeque rescued an abandoned puppy inside a tied plastic bag, recounting tearfully that "if he hadn't moved, he would have drowned without being able to breathe."
Yenney Caballero reported the incident on Facebook and declared that she would fight for the dog: "If he does not survive, he will have a dignified end for a living being," as he apparently had the disease known as distemper.
Around that time, an internet user reported that a dog was abandoned at a bus stop in Havana, where it was left tied to a fence with a collar and its name written on a piece of cardboard.
The animal was rescued, and she began to look for someone to adopt it. She took it to her sister's house, where they gave it food and water.
"There I spend the night so that he won't get run over or lost and suffer bad consequences," she emphasized.
