His screams burst out of the silence. Because his pain from a neck injury was so intense he couldn’t move, he did the only thing he could in an attempt to avoid more pain: he cried. We lifted him as gently as possible, knowing his agony. Arriving in our hospital we treated him immediately for […]
We got a call that someone had noticed one of the cattle foraging for food at the garbage dump was limping badly. When we found him, we saw a rope was tied around his foot and was cutting deep into the skin. Sadly, cattle who are abandoned by dairy farmers because they are simply male […]
Mange-afflicted dogs are usually on the move, and because of this, people see them once and then they disappear. Marvin probably hid, ran, hid again, often too anxious from itching to eat. The mange may have advanced very quickly, the parasites lurking beneath the skin and often only gaining ground when an animal has another […]
This tiny little lady has opinions and expressions even at just a few weeks old! Meet Button, an injured baby who would prefer to be left alone to heal without intrusion by humans, but we’re afraid we had to interrupt her morning with this rescue–her wound was serious. She let us know right away that […]
The neighbors must have gasped. This street dog’s maggot wound was so horrible he had lost the will to survive it. Gaping and complex, the wound covered the whole of his back neck. And in unbearable pain, he was completely limp, and allowed strangers to simply lift him into their trunk where they could confine […]
Forget the statistics–how many street puppies are born, how many die of this or that condition… rather each is a fully fledged “person” in our view. This little guy needed big human help if he was to survive. He’d been hit by a vehicle and he seemed to have a head injury. We helped with […]
Hiding deep in the tunnels of a construction site, a worker found an old dog who had a large wound near his head and ear. The old boy didn’t move. His eyes pleaded “Help me!” His pain and confusion were so extreme that he probably no longer could move. We easily caught him and rushed […]
This little nugget of a boy has a degloved paw, no doubt run over by a motorbike. He’s in terrible pain. Imagine being someone so young, hardly having seen the world outside your mama’s small circle, and suddenly to be struck with such shocking pain. We gently placed him in a basket for safe transport […]
“Why won’t my legs work?” Her panting was actually panic. This beauty was hit by a car and her bright courage alone was not enough. She needed help, right away. Once she arrived at our hospital, her agitation was soothed by the presence of relaxed dogs all around her. She stopped struggling and allowed us […]
A buffalo was helplessly trapped on the side of a busy road. She had been hit by a car, and couldn’t stand. She must have been so hot and thirsty. We managed to transfer her into our ambulance using a hydraulic lift, and quickly brought her to our hospital, where we treated her for pain […]
You might watch this video while partially covering your eyes with your hands, but all the more astonishing good news awaits if you stay til the end. If our medical team didn’t have vast experience treating terrible wounds, we may have felt this poor dog was beyond saving. But we know better by now. A […]
The young dog was suffering from a terrible condition. Mange parasites embedded beneath the skin had caused all his fur to fall out and a mind-shattering itchiness. Tanu had perhaps never been touched as a puppy; now, with mange, he was nervous, inward, and almost seemed frightened of himself! He struggled wildly when our rescuer […]
Laying on the broken, jagged rocks of a construction site, a dying dog underneath thorny brambles was spotted by a cement worker. He may not have even been from Udaipur but in talking to others on the building site, someone had Animal Aid’s emergency rescue number and thank goodness, called us for help. This black […]
This dear little street puppy had been hit by a car. He wasn’t bleeding and he had no fractures, but he was close to death after being hit in the head by a passing vehicle. His eyes were open, but they saw nothing. We have more experience with head injuries than we wish we had. […]
Our rescue team doubted we could save this tiny puppy who had been hit by a car. He lay unconscious. Blood from his nose had pooled in a little puddle. During the next 5 days, his very life force is in question. It was not clear whether or not he would pull through. For almost […]
The depth of Marlo’s wound was hidden beneath a thick flap of skin. Astoundingly, the wound’s direction did not penetrate Marlo’s intestines. We gathered her up and hurried to the hospital where we immediately began preparing her for surgery, but we had to wait to begin until we were sure her stomach was empty. We […]
Blood dropped from this young bull’s neck but at first, we couldn’t see the wound. As we got closer, the problem was all too familiar: someone had tied a rope around this calf’s neck long ago, and then abandoned him. As he grew, the rope became tighter and tighter until it dug through his flesh, […]
Hiding under a wooden bed, this young beauty was actually dying from advanced mange. She’d lost much more than her hair; she’d lost weight and vigor–the mange had robbed her of her happiness. But once on our treatment table, Margaret revealed a beautiful gentle capacity for joy. And right away she recognized the treatment team […]
The neighbors knew this injured puppy was in serious peril. They covered him with an old burlap bag, wanting to keep him comfortable. At first, we couldn’t see the problem. But when we lifted him we saw the gaping wound in his armpit. How painful it must have been. He cried in agony and confusion […]
Jadoo means magic. When you watch this video of astounding healing from a wound that took almost all the flesh from this boy’s head, you’ll know why we’ve named him Jadoo. He waited quietly near a temple gate, as if he were waiting for someone. But we couldn’t take any chances–if Jadoo bolted out of […]
Laying in a gutter, this little guy was at the final stage of Canine Distemper. Canine Distemper is a virus that attacks their nervous, respiratory and gastrointestinal system. Street dogs usually don’t get vaccinated, and the mortality rate is extremely high. His emaciated body, having been racked by fever and weakness so profound he couldn’t […]
This emaciated young bull was covered in blood and flies from a serious neck wound. He lay motionlessly; it seemed he was resigned to dying there on the side of the road. But by the time this gentle soul arrived in our hospital his hope was somehow restored: he stood! An infection had caused great […]
Gerty is a street dog who had been hit by a car. Her fur is dirty; she probably was rolled, too. She appeared lifeless, but as we approached we could see the faint stirrings of her breathing. But Gerty was deeply hurt. We just didn’t know where, at first. She did have a small wound […]
Shubh’s starving body was being taken over by mange. He was tricky to catch, so our cameraman had to join in the help and our next look at Shubh reveals a very forlorn boy, confused to suddenly find himself in a strange kennel in an ambulance. We had to muzzle him after welcoming him onto […]
She’s beautiful to look at–sleek, with a strong young body, her glossy coat in good condition. Inside though, is an electrical firestorm. She’s completely disoriented after suffering a trauma to her head, having been hit by a car. She will die without emergency help. Motorists contact Animal Aid and we hurry her to our hospital. […]
This older street dog was found utterly collapsed on the side of the road. His life force was merely a whisper. We examined him for wounds and, finding none, deduced he must have had a head injury because although his eyes were open, he seemed unable to comprehend anything. Or perhaps his neck was so […]
Perky’s condition was serious following a small puncture wound causing nerve injury. His momma was so caring, she genuinely seemed to be trying to encourage him to be brave when we gently placed Perky in a basket to bring him to our hospital. We treated him for pain and inflammation, and finding no fractures or […]
Neighbors saw that a street dog was desperately wounded with a massive wound that had cut her open at the cheek and under her lower jaw and throat. They themselves rushed her to our hospital and into emergency treatment. When we received this bleeding, nearly-delirious girl, we were surprised that she was alive. We leapt […]
Doon had been hit by a car. He lay motionlessly, revealing his life force only by a subtle rise and fall in his chest. He was still breathing. As we lifted him he cried out, but then fell silent and remained so for several days. Due to head trauma, Doon was unconscious when we laid […]
Advanced mange is a devastating condition and without treatment many dogs will die from it. Mange is an infestation of parasites below the skin. With Ava, the itching was so severe that she broke the skin in many places just from scratching. Sometimes dogs find it difficult to stop moving almost as if they’re trying […]
Peter’s hind leg was badly broken. He crouched on the side of the road, probably just a few feet from where he had been struck by a passing car. The sadhu (Hindu devotee) who called for our rescue waited until the ambulance arrived. When he reached the hospital’s treatment table his eyes seemed to say, […]
This beauty wagged her tail though her leg was badly wounded and her neck was covered in scabs and dried blood from a rampant fungal infection at the throat. She slipped into our arms without flinching, and as we carried her to the ambulance, Meetu’s ears pricked forward and she seemed to say “Where are […]
This mama dog tried to ignore the terrible wound on her chest. She had a job to do–to feed her babies. Her neighbors called us immediately when they noticed Burki’s blood matted fur. Maggots can work incredibly quickly to worsen an already-awful wound. It was hard to separate Burki from her two puppies, but the […]
Motorists saw a dog get hit by a car and alerted us immediately. The dog lay lifelessly on the median as traffic rushed by and people gathered around the unconscious but breathing figure. When our rescuers lifted him, he didn’t even flinch. But within the time it took to reach our hospital, Trooper had regained […]
You wouldn’t be wrong to think Beam was dying. He lay flat in a heap of garbage, a huge maggot wound bearing into his neck. When our rescuers came, he didn’t flinch. He had no energy or will to escape. He extended his head to avoid pain, and quietly allowed us to lift him into […]
This beautiful girl had a gaping wound on her neck from a car accident. Whatever the cause, Matilda would have soon died without rescue. Her absolute stillness at the scene of our rescue told us the kind of pain she was in. Paralysing fear surrounded her. We hurried her to our hospital and immediately began […]
Auggie lay cold and still. We’re not sure why he had collapsed. He had no broken bones or evidence of internal injury. We brought him to our hospital and treated Auggie’s hypothermia first, with blankets, hot water bottles and a heated hydration drip. All we could do is let the hours pass as his warming body […]
We got a phone call from a poor rag-picker in a slum that their puppy Bunty had been hit by a car. We hurried to the rescue and found a growing boy of about 4-5 months laying completely unconscious. Unresponsive and limp, we hurried Bunty to our hospital. Our examination revealed no visible wounds or […]
This boy’s horrendous wound seemed to have frightened him into absolute stillness. The flesh was torn away from the back of his neck. We carried him gently, though we hurried to our ambulance. Mason allowed us to clean his wound without flinching for an instant. His eyes initially seemed to stare out to the distance, […]
She could barely breathe or swallow. A wire was wrapped around this street dog’s neck. Her face had swollen so badly she hardly looked like a dog anymore. Frightened of people, we had to catch her with a net because she didn’t want to be touched. We hurried her to the hospital and immediately removed […]
