Meet Valetio! He was found lying in distress on the streets of Maracaibo, abandoned and left to die. Covered in enormous, relentless ticks, he suffered from their merciless attacks.


Veterinarians report that Valetio will need to stay in the clinic for an extended period until his condition stabilizes and he can start recovering. When overwhelmed, he quickly becomes faint, disoriented, and exhausted.
“Seeing Valetio on the path to recovery brings us great joy, but we still feel deep anguish, anger, and helplessness when we think about how he was abandoned and left to die alone in that corner,” says Alicia Jiménez, a caretaker at MANADA GLOBAL PETS TRAVEL.

Fortunately, a week after his rescue, Valetio began to recover from his ordeal. “He sat alone near my husband @juls_alema, seeking his affection. Gradually, he relaxed and lay down beside him,” Alicia recalls.
