When rescuers found Anora, they weren't even sure that she was still alive. The pup was found in a trash bag, covered in maggots, with broken legs, a broken jaw and several other impact wounds from being beaten.She was found in Transylvania, Romania, and had most likely been left in the trash bin for at least two days in sweltering summer heat.

She would need surgery to fix the problem and avoid the constant pain it had been causing her. Her new mom, Helen Taylor, started a YouCaring pageto raise money for her imminent medical costs.Thanks to the donations, Anora was able to have the essential surgery in January 2017. She is still recovering and healing to make sure that everything sets correctly, but the adorable dog is doing better than ever.
