It all started with a dispute between a couple, renting for 6 months in a campsite located in Nouvion-en-Thiérache (department of Aisne, region Hauts-de-France), and their owner. Present in the accommodation since the end of April with their dog, the couple claimed in particular that no inventory had been carried out, nor any necessary repairs. Accused of being bad payers by the owner, the masters of Ramses were deprived of water and electricity.
“ I couldn't even give my dog water anymore. », Said one of the 2 tenants, as reported by the media La Thiérache. Forced to leave the campsite on July 31, the couple collected their belongings but left the dog in a locked garage.
Locked in with water and food but in oppressive heat
Thanks to the perseverance and mobilization of several people, notably local residents, veterinarians, associations and social networks, Ramses was able to be released and was placed with a temporary family. ” He came out of the garage and two exceptional ladies of extraordinary generosity welcomed him temporarily, while they found a solution. Today he is in a calm, fresh, bright and relaxing place with a large plot of land, a cushion and cuddly toys! », indicated Soraya Trochain.
An online prize pool
Very quickly, the volunteers noticed that Ramses had a health problem, fearing that he was suffering from cardiac decompensation, which the veterinarian confirmed during his examinations. “ He suffers from heart failure due to stress and the heat in the garage. He will have to take treatment for life », adds Soraya. To cover the costs of her care, she opened a fund Leetchi online. “ He is in a foster family temporarily and we are looking for a family for him, without a cat, without a dog and without a young child. A place with a host family or an association, a place in a SPA, because its owner will not be able to take it back », concluded one of the rescuers Ramses.
