Elsa’s story begins some years ago in the streets of Istanbul. It may be two years ago, but it may also be three years ago. No one knows, not even Elsa. She was born in the streets and has never had a home, a place to call her home. Sometimes she gets food from the neighbourhood people, but she is always hungry.

One night the “accident” happens that will forever change her life. Some young men run over Elsa on purpose with a car. Not once, but several times. They leave her laying there in the street paralyzed, with a broken spine and a broken right front leg and several bleeding wounds. She has never been given love, not until a local rescuer brings her to He’art of Rescue.

A veterinarian at the clinic says after x-rays are taken that she can’t be saved, but Rima Nur the founder of He’art of Rescue, sends the x-ray picture to a friend in Spain who takes the pictures to a clinic in Valencia, Spain. The vets say it is operable. Very soon Elsa is taken to the clinic and they make two operations on her. The lower part of the spine was chattered, and her sacrum as well. The operations are quite successful and Elsa is now starting a new chapter in her life.

This is her story before she came to us: http://emblaandeddie.com/2015/06/21/soon-very-soon/
