Paralyzed and Afraid: Rescue Team Brings Hope to Injured Dog
A call about a paralyzed dog wandering the streets launched a challenging rescue mission.
The caller, deeply concerned, provided a video showing the dog’s severe injuries: a broken leg and damaged spine, making survival on the streets nearly impossible.
The dog, terrified and in pain, had repeatedly evaded capture. Understanding the need for professional help, the caller contacted a rescue team.
Upon arrival, the dog was nowhere to be seen, having sought shelter from the monsoon rains. His small, soaked body was hidden in a corner, making him difficult to locate. Despite his wagging tail, indicating a friendly nature, the dog was clearly traumatized and wary of humans.
Approaching him proved difficult. He refused food, a sign of extreme stress, and remained hidden. Every attempt to get closer was met with defensive behavior, highlighting the challenge of gaining his trust.
After careful and patient maneuvering, the team successfully secured the dog. They decided to transfer him immediately to their animal shelter, a safe haven where he would no longer have to struggle for food or safety.
However, the shelter, still under construction, primarily accommodates permanently disabled dogs. Given his broken leg and spine injury, he was deemed a suitable candidate for long-term care.
At the shelter, the dog began to adjust to his new surroundings. He was introduced to other dogs with disabilities, finding companionship and understanding.
The shelter provided a safe and secure environment, a stark contrast to the dangers of his previous life on the streets. As night fell, a sense of peace settled over the shelter, with the dogs resting comfortably.
