Goran Marinkovic lives in Serbia. Unfortunately, the country is filled with stray dogs and cats, which is heart-breaking for Goran, who’s a true animal lover.
“Passing a narrow pathway, I heard crying coming from the rocks,” he told the shelter. “She was cold, hungry and thirsty. I had food, so right away I gave her salami.”
Goran approached the sickly-looking pup, and she instantly trusted him, lying down and exposing her belly to get rubs. Goran picked up the puppy and brought her to the vet. But luckily, the dog—whom he named Coco—was a fighter.
“She was exhausted,” Goran recalled. “She knew that I might be her only chance, so she lay down and surrendered to fate.”
As Coco regained her strength, her true personality began to shine through. Turns out, she loves people and always keeps a cheerful attitude! He wanted to find Coco the best home, so he reached out to one of his friends and fellow rescuers who had connections with international animal adoptions.
Once Coco completed her vaccines, she was flown to her new home in Germany! After a year, Coco became almost unrecognizable. From being a sickly, dirty pup hiding behind an old shoe, she has now grown into a beautiful and healthy dog!
By merely looking at her, you can already tell that she is getting lots of love from her new family. As a volunteer, Goran doesn’t get any compensation for his noble work. He usually works alone but sometimes gets help from friends.
This kind of work isn’t easy, considering the time, money, and effort it takes to make these animals’ lives better. Luckily, there are people like Goran who willingly take on the responsibility.
