From suffering to victory: Poor dog resiliently overcomes broken jaw, finds fragile hope with his poor cubs

2023/09/08

Pinky had been struck by a car and had several fractures in her jaws and teeth, according to the x-rays. The wound was septic, and if not treated, it would have killed her in a couple of weeks.

The veterinarian determined that the only alternative was to remove the majority of her diseased lower jaw and teeth. Pinky underwent surgery and was cared for in a foster home.

Pinky's recovery was a long and difficult one. She had to be fed partially through a tube for nearly a month, but the love and care she received from the shelter workers and foster home helped her recuperate.

The mother dog's jaw healed over time, and she was able to eat and drink regularly again. Her gentle and caring demeanor won over her foster family, who opted to permanently adopt her.


The mother dog was finally strong enough to be placed in a foster home, and that was the day. She was adopted by a caring family who had previous experience with special-needs canines. They continued to care for her, providing her with the medication she needed and transporting her to follow-up vet appointments.

Today, the mother dog is doing well in her new home. She has a comfortable bed to sleep in, lots of food to eat, and all of the love and care she deserves. Her rescue tale is a testament to the power of love and compassion, and it serves as a reminder that every animal deserves a second chance.

Pinky's tale is just one of the countless rescues that take place at RRSA India every day. These rescues would not be feasible without the community's support. The shelter relies on donations to provide medical care, food, and shelter to animals in need. Many animals, like Pinky, would be allowed to suffer and perish on the streets if such support was not provided
