Help Terra Heal — Support a Wounded Alabai’s Care

💔🙏 Help Us Care for Terra — a Wounded Soul in a Majestic Body

We urgently need support to cover Terra’s monthly care. Every month her food and boarding cost around $150, and the bills are coming due very soon. Please, if you can, donate here: https://transformastreetdog.org/animals/terra/

Terra is a stunning Alabai — powerful, dignified, and yet deeply wounded. Beneath her impressive appearance hides a frightened soul who has never truly known love. She spent most of her life in a kennel with her sister, likely without proper attention, care, or training. When her former owners gave up the dogs, her sister found a new home — but Terra was left completely alone, without family or comfort.

We welcomed Terra into our shelter, but her adaptation has been heartbreaking. She recognizes and trusts only one person — Katya, the staff member who rescued her. With Katya she feels safe enough to walk and accept care. With anyone else, Terra becomes defensive, even lashing out when offered food. This isn’t malice; it’s fear. Aggression is her only way of protecting herself.

Adding to her struggle is a hearing impairment that makes human interaction even more confusing and frightening. We don’t know her full history, but we do know that no dog raised with love ends up this afraid. Terra isn’t a monster — she’s a victim of neglect. She’s like a wounded child who has never been taught trust or affection.

As an Alabai, Terra has the traits of a natural guardian: loyalty, independence, and caution. She desperately needs a patient specialist — an experienced trainer familiar with the breed — who can guide her through her fears and help her find balance.

We feel deeply for Terra. Her eyes reflect years of suffering and distrust. Yet we believe that, with the right care, she can find peace. We don’t know if she’ll ever have a family of her own, but we’re committed to giving her dignity, safety, and comfort at our shelter for as long as she needs it.

By becoming Terra’s sponsor, you give her a chance at a better life — a chance to take small steps toward trust, healing, and peace. Together, we can show that even the strongest, most misunderstood dogs deserve warmth and compassion. Please stand with Terra and help us give her the life she has always deserved ❤️
