We want them to have a nice space where they&#8217;ll feel comfortable,&#8221; says Shamitha. Shamitha, who<span class=\"s1\"> couldn&#8217;t resist taking in the sad plight of dogs in distress, <\/span>had started taking them in before Healing Hearts Animal Sanctuary was finally registered in 2019.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As soon as they are informed of the presence of a sick or injured dog, they set off to retrieve the animal and provide the necessary care. Depending on the situation, rescued dogs are <g id=\"gid_0\">taken to <\/g>the vet or to an appropriate shelter. &#8220;We stay by their bedside during the convalescence period, which takes place in our home or with foster families,&#8221; <span class=\"s1\">she says<\/span>. <span class=\"s1\">They<\/span> are then taken to the shelter or offered for adoption.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jean-Luc has also learned how to create rolling carts for disabled animals, so that they can regain a degree of independence. &#8220;We also organize rehabilitation sessions in the water to teach dogs to walk again after an accident or injury,&#8221; adds Shamitha. &#8220;We do this work from the heart, and in no way do we consider that we are sacrificing ourselves,&#8221; says Jean-Luc. He appeals to anyone who would like to support them in their mission.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Contact: 5772 9474<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">FB: Healing Hearts Animal Sanctuary &#8211; Mauritius<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their dedication and sincerity command admiration and respect.
