This young girl’s story is one of heartbreak and anger as it makes your blood boil when it reveals the callous cruelty that some people in this world are capable of.  Talula began her life in northern Alberta as a once-loved and cherished precious pet but when her family grew tired of her they not only kicked her out of their home in the middle of winter, but they locked her out of their yard as well.  In the bitter cold and at no more than a few months of age, Talula struggled to stay alive as she desperately scrounged for morsels of frozen garbage amongst the bins in her former family’s back alley.  With no protection from the cold, Talula’s only hope was to find shelter within the garbage to keep her tiny body from freezing to death.  Cold, hungry and alone she wandered the back alley for more than a week all the while the lowlifes that had abandoned her continued to ignore her agony.  Talula was eventually picked up by a stranger that took her in to the local veterinary clinic.  Shortly after, we were contacted by the Riverview Veterinary Clinic in Devon, Alberta asking for RASTA’s help.
