Selene’s unbelievable journey to rescue after she nearly bled to death

/5 Comments/in , , , , /by

In Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, it must have been Selene’s adrenaline that helped her make it to a field after having been hit by a car. The young dog’s front leg had been split open; had it not been for a Good Samaritan who called rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited, the dog would have bled to death.

Although she openly seemed to be writhing in agony, Selene was so frightened when rescuers arrived, she jumped up and painfully hobbled further into the field – although she didn’t growl or show any aggression. Slowly the rescuers were able to gain her trust, and when they were finally able to cover her with a blanket and carry her back to the waiting ambulance, Selene knew she was going to be helped.

 

Back at the hospital, she was sedated; her wound flushed and cleaned. As veterinarians examined the wound, which actually had exposed the four major muscles of her leg torn apart, there were no major arteries or veins severed.  Selene underwent surgery – not to amputate her leg, but to repair it and help her heal.

One month later Selene’s unbelievable journey to rescue needs to be seen. Her frightening story will renew your faith in humans. Behind her surgery and recovery is the loving support of donors:https://www.animalaidunlimited.org/how-to-help/donate

Dog’s leg severed by train, but his tail still wagged when rescued

/7 Comments/in , , /by

In an incredible rescue by Animal Aid Unlimited in Rajasthan, India, a young dog had been struck by a train. Nearby village residents called the animal shelter for help. Little Spirit’s leg had been severed, and it hopeless dangled; only the small bits of remaining skin kept it attached to his body.

When the rescuers arrived, they found Spirit in a small hole near the railroad tracks. He had burrowed himself beneath a pile of garbage and must have been waiting for the pain to subside. The pain would not have passed, and had he not been rescued, Spirit would have soon died.  As a volunteer carefully tried to pick the dog up from out of the hole, he cried out in pain; his screams were utterly heartbreaking. Who could imagine how he had been suffering?

As Spirit was carried to the waiting pet ambulance, his tail wagged. Not a snarl nor a growl, Spirit knew he had been rescued.

“Nothing could stop Spirit’s incredible will to be joyful,” his rescuers wrote on the organization’s Facebook page.

At the hospital clinic, the pup was prepared for surgery. Sadly there was no way to save his leg, but learning to be a tripod wouldn’t interfere with this little Spirit’s will to live and happily wag his tail.

Check out the video, and watch Spirit’s recovery just two weeks later.

Street dog noticed by villagers lying in same place for more than a day

/10 Comments/in , , , /by

In Udaipur, India, a street dog had been struck by a vehicle. She slowly crawled away and settled on the side of the road. The accident had fractured her jaw and broke several of her teeth; she was suffering and slowly dying.

When  concerned villagers called Animal Aid Unlimited, rescuers rushed out to the area and found the young Labrador mix unable to stand curled up in a ball. She seemed disoriented and most likely had not eaten or had water in days. She was carefully lifted into the arms of rescuers and brought back to Animal Aid for treatment.

Named Dory, the sweet dog collapsed when placed onto the examination table. There the medical staff were able to gently open her mouth to discover her jaw was fractured and several teeth had been broken. Had she not been rescued, she would have soon died of dehydration.

A wire was placed in Dory’s jaw to help heal the fracture. It was long before the dog was able to eat again; it had been a long time since she enjoyed a full meal and now with no pain, Dory truly enjoyed the experience.

Weeks later Dory’s life completely changed; a dog who had given up hope found a reason to smile.

Discarded and thrown away: Baby calf rescued in most touching way

/3 Comments/in , /by

Just days old, discarded and thrown away as if her beating heart, her soft fur and big brown eyes didn’t mean anything to anyone, a baby calf appeared lifeless as she waited to die . In Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, however, little Merry’s life did count. Rescuers showed up along the side of a dirt road just hours before she would have died.

“She must have walked until she was too weary to stand anymore,” Animal Aid Unlimited, an organization whose focus  is to bring relief to animals and to help educate people about their proper care. “Or maybe her mother had died and the owner didn’t want to pay for milk?”

Barely breathing when rescuers picked her up and placed her still body onto the rescue’s animal ambulance, it wasn’t known if the newly born calf would even survive. Completely dehydrated, the first step was to administer fluids and nutrients, and for four days, the calf’s life hung by a string. Rescuers named her Merry – the baby deserved a name no matter what her fate was to bring.

On the fifth day, Merry stood up on her own four legs; maybe just a little wobbly, but nevertheless she continued to improve. With bottle fed milk and lots of love, spend a few minutes and watch this calf’s video of love and life. You won’t be disappointed.

Three puppies stuck in hardened tar for hours

/3 Comments/in , , , /by

Three puppies had been stuck in hardened tar for hours in Udaipur, India; their hours left to live were limited until a Good Samaritan alerted the rescue organization Animal Aid Unlimited for a last ditch effort to help.

When the rescue team arrived, they could immediately tell the three little ones had been suffering in the black tar – unable to move and set to work on a plan.

“Three tiny angels were trapped in hardened tar. They were so completely stuck, they couldn’t move a muscle. It looked like they’d been engulfed for hours, and one little baby’s mouth was even stuck open. Neighbors had heard their heart-wrenching cries for help and had called Animal Aid,” the organization posted on their Facebook page.

And then the rescuers went into action.

“Prying them loose was impossible for the tense rescue team, so we had to cut the tar loose from the rocks below and bring the puppies and the tar and gravel they were stuck in back to the hospital. Determined volunteers and staff spent hours to soften the tar with oil and dish soap, with time out only to plant kisses on the puppies’ noses. Multiple warm baths later…and wow. For babies who had been on the brink of death, this is what happiness looks like.”

For the next few days, the one-month-old puppies were massaged with oil and bathed until all remains of the tar were removed. What makes the story even better – the mother of the babies was found, and all have been rejoined and kept until they are old enough to find new homes of their own.

Spend a few minutes and check out this glorious story of rescue – work like this is what we all love to see and read. The video has garnered worldwide approval.

A drowning dog’s plea for rescue is answered

/7 Comments/in , /by

In the area of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, volunteers from Animal Aid Unlimited are always busy bringing relief to suffering animals. A drowning dog’s plight was no different, and her rescue was nothing short of a miracle as a frightened and very tired dog knew her time was soon running out. Either she had fallen or been dropped into a 70 foot deep well; there was no place for her to climb nor was there any place for her to rest. Either she kept paddling or she would surely drown.

When Animal Aid Unlimited volunteers arrived, it appeared the Lab had been struggling to stay afloat for hours. She repeatedly grabbed the rocks on the side of the well with her bleeding claws; one piece of jagged rock held out her only hope of resting. She had nearly lost her strength, when Ganpat rigged himself up with a harness, rope and quickly navigated down the treacherous side of the rocky well.

And when she saw Ganpat, the dog knew her prayers had been answered. Quickly she swam towards him, moved willingly into the net brought to safely lift her to safety and so another life was saved. Watch her amazing rescue as we remind ourselves of the goodness and compassion of so many people we want to thank for their kindness towards all that cannot speak.

Amazing rescue: Puppy suffered burns over 30% of her body from boiling water

/3 Comments/in , , , /by

It had been a terrible accident for an owner’s beloved puppy when she accidentally fell into boiling hot water in the village near Udaipur City, Rajasthan, India. Basanti’s owner called Animal Aid Unlimited for help the moment it happened; he found his dog who he had cared for since she was a puppy, hiding in an abandoned building – clearly in agonizing pain. Nearly 30% of her body had been badly burned.

When rescuers arrived, they saw the puppy’s legs and underneath her belly had severe injuries. The skin had started to become necrotic; life saving rescue treatment had to be done immediately or Basanti would have died.

The first order of business, as she arrived at the hospital was to ease her pain, and over a period of time to carefully remove the necrotic tissue to encourage new skin to grow.

Although the puppy was sedated during the painful bandage changes as her burned skin was methodically peeled, it wasn’t until one week later  when all of the burned tissue was finally removed and re-bandaged, did her healing really begin. Such a brave girl Basanti was – no matter how many medical procedures she endured, her tail never stopped wagging nor did her amazing personality, spirit and will to live not shine through.

And three-months later a new, energized puppy played in the yard. Check out the video.

Helen: Stray left lying in heartbreaking little ball on side of road

/11 Comments/in , , /by

Along the streets of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, stray dogs are a common sight. Most are friendly and a bit skinny as they scavenge about the villages trying to survive; often gentle folks will feed them scraps, even in the poverty stricken areas. When a Good Samaritan notified Animal Aid Unlimited about Helen however, this poor dog’s plight was so tragic that her heartbreaking condition brought tears to even the most stoic of rescuers.

“Our rescue team found her lying in a heart-broken little ball on the side of the road. Her hip bones, rib cage and spine jutted against her paper-thin skin. She looked like she no longer believed that life could hold anything but pain, and she didn’t have the strength to even stand. Pain and hunger had taken everything from her.”

Even as the rescuers offered her cookies, Helen was too weak to accept any food; the aged dog with no teeth had given up all hope. Her crusted skin burned and itched – just a few tufts of fur remaining that had once been part of her glorious golden coat. She cried in pain and agony when she was wrapped in a blanket and picked up to be rushed back to the veterinary hospital at Animal Aid.

Helen’s rehabilitation began very slowly. First she was given medication to ease the intense pain from mange. Intravenous medication was started to fight the severe dehydration, but Helen had been so defeated and so depressed, she still wouldn’t eat. All she did was sleep, and then came a glimmer of hope. For the first time since she was rescued, the dog took a few small bites of food. Three days later she ate her first full meal. By the tenth day, Helen had her first bath – and as the scabs slowly fell off and a soothing lotion was applied to her skin, she began to heal; both physically and spiritually.

Sit back and watch a miracle take place for an old dog that no one wanted. Follow the National Pet Rescue on Facebook.

Baby donkey rescued with hole in her forehead down to her skull

/4 Comments/in /by

When villagers in the area of Rajasthan, Udaipur, India found a baby donkey with a huge hole in her forehead, no one could believe she was still alive. Needing immediate life saving veterinary intervention, volunteers from Animal Aid Unlimited were notified, and there in a farm area, rescuers found  tiny April nursing from her mother.

The baby didn’t put up much resistance as the men gently placed a rope around her neck and helped her into the animal ambulance, but not without the baby’s mom who had not been far away grazing along the path. Back at the hospital, the critically injured animal had maggots crawling out of her gaping wound, and so medication to kill the insects was immediately applied; that would take hours to work  before further medical treatment could begin. When the maggots were finally dead, April was sedated and started on antibiotics while the staff  removed the dead maggots, thoroughly cleaned out the wound and then bandaged it.

Within ten days, April’s condition had greatly improved; so much so she had been eating with gusto, and the wound which exposed her skull had begun to heal over. 

And now after two months, spend a few minutes, sit back, relax and smile as April’s life takes a positive change because of the kindness of Animal Aid Unlimited. To donate, please click here.

Stray pup survives unimaginable pain after ruthless acid attack

/8 Comments/in , /by

If the photo of Honey found near the village of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, makes you wince in pain, who can even imagine the agony suffered by this dog after some ruthless individual apparently poured acid on her back? And what was Honey’s crime – nothing more than a friendly, stray Labrador retriever and German shepherd mix quietly searching the streets for food?

When a Good Samaritan called rescuers from Animal Aid Unlimited, they found Honey. Gently they picked her up and despite the dog’s excruciating pain, she never showed any aggression nor did she try to escape. Brought to the organization’s hospital area, veterinarians set immediately to work.

“Unimaginable pain seared through her when this sweet girl was viciously attacked with acid. All the layers of her skin down to the muscle dissolved. When we rescued her, we promised her she’d have our love forever,” veterinarians wrote on the organization’s Facebook page.

The dog was sedated, and the severe wound which covered nearly half of her back was cleaned to remove all traces of the acid. Gentle salves were applied; then came the clear plastic and bandages to keep the area clean and protected. Day after day, Honey’s wound was cleaned, and not one staff member could figure out why anyone would want to hurt this gentle dog.

After one-month, Honey’s back showed remarkable progress; pure honey was applied to her wound to promote healing. Rescuers worried that the dog’s emotional and mental health would not keep up with her physical improvement, but judge for yourself. Below is Honey’s life six month’s later. To help more animals who depend on the kindness of humans, donations to this organization can be made by clicking here.
