Four-year-old Indonesian pitbull Gledis was home alone for two days without food when a group of volunteers found her.
She is among many pets left behind when their owners tested positive for Covid-19 and were hospitalised or placed in isolation.
The "AD-19 programme" launched last month by rights group Animal Defender helps pets left in limbo while their owners deal with coronavirus infections.
