Anjing Liar Selamatkan 5 Anak Kucing yang Kedinginan di Kanada

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Seekor anjing tersesat menyelamatkan beberapa ekor anak kucing yang terlantar di tengah udara dingin Kanada. Tim penyelamat saat ini mencari keluarga yang mau menampung anjing baik hati ini yang diberi nama Serenity yang berarti ketenangan.

Dikutip dari gulfnews.com, Jumat, 29 November 2019, Myriam Armstrong, juru bicara Pet and Wildlife Rescue menceritakan Serenity, 2 tahun, adalah seekor anjing betina. Dia ditemukan di pinggir jalan dekat kota Chatham, Ontario, Kanada, pada malam hari sekitar tiga pekan lalu. 

Ketika ditemukan tim penyelamat, disamping anjing itu ada beberapa ekor anak kucing yang terlantar yang bergelung pada Serenity. Saat itu, suhu dingin mencapai minus 3 derajat dan malam sangat gelap. Serenity bahkan ditemukan dengan titik-titik salju di tubuhnya. 

“Saya terkejut karena ada lima ekor anak kucing sedang bergelung pada anjing itu untuk menghangatkan tubuh. Anak-anak kucing itu mungkin tidak akan bertahan di tengah udara dingin Kanada tanpa bantuan anjing itu,” kata Armstrong.

I have been getting A LOT of attention on social media, but let me fill you in just in case you don't know my name and my story! My name is Serenity and I was found last week on the side of the road keeping 5 kittens warm. A good citizen called the shelter, a kind Animal Control Officer picked the 6 of us up and we've been living our best lives ever since! The kittens that I kept safe have been kindly taken in by a foster family and will be put up for adoption once they're old enough to be on their own. Let me tell you a little bit about myself so that the shelter can find the most suitable home for me. I'm obviously great with cats and would have no problem going to a home that has cats in it. I'm estimated to be about 2 years old so I'm still young and have the energy of a toddler. I love zooming around outside and will run circles around any person or object that is out in the yard with me. The shelter staff has been working on it, but I can be quite jumpy and need to be taught some manners. At this time in my life I would do best in a home without small children that I can knock over. I've gotten along with a couple of dogs at the shelter so far - both were extremely submissive or uninterested in interacting with me. Along with my dominance I am HUGE on playing and have a tendency to get right in other dog's faces. I didn't get along with the dominant or even slightly reactive shelter dogs.I do need help with my house training as it is not perfect. The shelter staff is concerned about getting backlash for not adopting me out with the kittens that I was found with, but the kittens are not old enough to be on their own yet. If they waited for the kittens to be ready that would mean that I wouldn't have my forever family for a couple of months. It is always the staff's goal to get dogs out of the shelter environment and into their forever homes as soon as possible. At the end of the day I am just happy that the kittens were found with me and are now resting peacefully in a warm foster home instead of outside in the cold. Once I'm spayed on December 3rd I'll be ready to go! Apply to adopt me today: https://pawr.org/adoption-process-fees/ XOXO, Serenity

Tidak ketahui bagaimana anjing dan kelima ekor anak kucing yang sama-sama terlantar itu bisa bersama-sama. Armstrong menceritakan, bahkan ditempat penampungan pun ikatan anjing dan kucing itu masih terjalin. 

Kisah penemuan anjing ini dan lima anak kucing yang berlindung pada anjing tersebut diunggah ke media sosial. Lebih dari 30 orang dari penjuru Kanada sudah bertanya bagaimana prosedur untuk mengadopsi.  

Banyak yang ingin mengadopsi anjing itu sekaligus kelima anak kucing tersebut, jika memungkinkan. Namun Armstrong mengatakan mereka belum bisa diadopsi secara bersama karena anak-anak kucing itu masih membutuhkan waktu beberapa pekan lagi untuk menggemukkan badan mereka dan merampungkan perawatan dari kutu dan parasit.
