Abandoned Doberman Finds New Home After Journey to Prague

A three-year-old Doberman, abandoned by its owner in Chromepet, India, has successfully relocated to a new home in the Czech Republic. The dog, named Pattu, was rescued and brought to the Besant Memorial Animal Dispensary (BMAD) in November 2022, where he received critical veterinary care.

Upon arrival at BMAD, Pattu faced severe health challenges, including malnourishment and difficulty walking. Shravan Krishnan, a representative from BMAD, noted that the dog required extensive treatment and physiotherapy. “We named him Pattu. After five months of treatment and physiotherapy training, he regained health. The dog is now walking normally,” Krishnan explained.

As Pattu’s health improved, BMAD initiated efforts to find him a permanent home. The organization posted his details online, attracting numerous inquiries from potential adopters across India. Ultimately, the search led to Pavilina Buskova, a resident of the Czech Republic, who expressed immediate interest in adopting Pattu.

The adoption process involved multiple rounds of screening to ensure a suitable match for the dog. Following the approval, Pattu was transferred to a private shelter in preparation for his journey. In June 2023, he was transported in a specially designed wooden crate that allowed for aeration, ensuring his comfort during the flight.

After completing the necessary customs formalities, Pattu embarked on his journey to Europe. He has since settled into his new home with Buskova, marking a significant turnaround from his previous circumstances.

BMAD’s successful outreach efforts through social media have not only changed Pattu’s life but also highlighted the importance of animal welfare and adoption initiatives. The organization’s commitment to rehabilitating animals has paved the way for Pattu’s new beginning, providing hope for other abandoned pets in need.
