Presley and his five siblings were way too early seperated from their mother and then simply dumped in a cardboard box in front of our gate. When we found them the card board box was rain-drenched and the siblings were soaked, too.
Without hesitation we took them in the clinic, dried and fed them. In the following days and weeks we were fighting for the siblings and more than once we were afraid they wouldn't survive. Thanks to our care we could rescue five out of the six puppies.
Like their siblings, Presley developed nicely and was successfully rehomed to a local loving family.
A happy end? Sadly not. Less than a year later, the owner suddenly appeared in our clinic with Presley in his arms. Visibly moved, he told us he had to return Presley as the family had to move to the city because of their daughter's school enrollment. The Rehome dad didnt take it light-heartedly but of course we wished he had thought about that earlier.
Now, we had another grown-up dog too old for our Rehome program. To minimize the stress for Presley, we directly put him in our Rehome 50+ program, the social project for animals and people. Pearl, who was found malnourished by Marina Möbius on our daily tour, accompanied him.
Presley and Pearl have found a safe home and the DCC 50+ family receives an (additional) income.
Sadly, our Presley passed away from acute kidney failure. The DCC, Presley’s 50+ family, and Pearl were very saddened by this, but we are so grateful that he was able to enjoy a safe and happy life. We continued our care for Pearl, of course.
In July 2026, Pearl followed her friend Presley across the Rainbow Bridge. She had been under our care at the clinic due to increasing frailty associated with old age. Sadly, her condition continued to deteriorate, and when she stopped eating, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go.
Run free, you two. One day, we'll meet again at the other end of the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
