Animal Aid India in het zonnetje met hartverwarmende verhalen over geredde dieren in nood

 

In the very few parts of India where the dog population in under control thanks to spay and neuter - such as several areas of Mumbai - the cat population has increased to the point that some sterilization programs focus on cats rather than dogs. Amazingly, they have also learned how to live together: if you walk in the street of Mumbai, you will easily spot dogs and cats hanging out side by side! Thank you for your generous support allowing us to help the cats of Udaipur who have been injured by dog bites, accidents, falls, and illnesses. Would Mitchell be able to walk after his head injury?  Neighbors saw a dog collapse after being hit by a car and immediately called our helpline. We advised them not to move him, and we're so glad they didn't because with the first touch, this completely disoriented dog bolted in confusion from the head trauma, which could have caused him even more injury.   Within hours, he began to show signs of slight improvement and his eyes seemed to grant us permission to gently touch him. But the biggest surge of hope we experienced in those first hours was his ability to coordinate his head movement enough to eat by himself. For several days we needed to watch him around the clock. And within a few days of light physiotherapy, Mitchell managed to stand on his own. There's an old saying: "the rest is history." For Mitchell, "the rest is a future."   From near-dead, to beaming life: Please donate today Georgie's rays of sunshine will light up the corners of your heart. Whatever size the package is, love is huge, isn't it? This gorgeous puppy was almost buried under an enormous pocket of fluid that had collected around an infection. We drained the fluid and treated him with antibiotics. We believe that we rescued him just in time - meet Georgie now!   A little life. So much love. Please donate today Ever-loving Joey can't believe he snapped and growled during his rescue! Neighbors were shocked to find a local street dog hiding in pain. But what was wrong? There was no blood, no sign of trauma. When our rescue team arrived the poor boy growled and even threatened to bite. We now know the reason was his tremendous pain and fear: something had injured his spine. But though it would take 4 weeks to heal, within hours, his fears were replaced by continuous smiles. Our protocol for spine injury calls for bedrest along with other medication and care. For a young dog especially, this confinement is really tough. But receiving loving visits, watching the activities of the people and other dogs all around him, meant that Joey's emotional life was cheerful as he waited patiently for his bruised spine to heal. Meet Joey today--better than ever.   Healing can come from a complicated surgery or a place to rest, be fed and be loved. Please donate today Thank you Rachel! Deep thanks to Rachel, returning volunteer and kind friend to animals and all of us. Rachel, an air-traffic controller from the UK, once again brought lots of wonderful supplies, donated funds she herself gave and raised from others; gave energy and appreciation to staff and other volunteers, and best of all, gave non-stop love for the animals.  Give a simply spectacular gift: Animal Rescue.

De ongelofelijke transformatie van oude zwerfhond Helen die niet meer wilde leven ( Ontroerende video)

Senior Street Dog Cries When Rescuers Pick Her Up To Take Her Away

Animal Aid Unlimited arrived to find Helen, a senior stray dog suffering from severe mange and dehydration, she had curled into a ball and was waiting to die on the streets of India. But her rescuers weren’t going to give up on her.

They gently coaxed her with some food and wrapped a blanket gently around her. She cried out in pain when they picked her up – no doubt from pain and the relief of having finally been noticed. Little did Helen know she was about to be brought back to life thanks to her rescuers’ loving care.
“Helen took several months to recover,” Animal Aid Unlimited wrote. “She is a very old girl…At first we thought we might lose her, but Helen’s spirit was only hidden, never gone.”

The Founding Family

 Erika, Jim and Claire Abrams-Myers are the founders and managing directors of Animal Aid They have lived in India for over 15 years, and live right next to the Animal Aid shelter.

Managing Animal Aid is their life’s passion and absorbs their attention full-time.
Originally from Seattle in the United States, they started travelling to India and began living in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for several months of the year in the early ’90s. As they spent more time in Udaipur they started to notice injured animals on the street and it broke their hearts. There was nothing they could do and no one to call to help because Udaipur had no hospital for street animals (as was and is still the case throughout most of India.)

In 2002, after years of not knowing how to help and what to do, they took the plunge of a lifetime and founded Animal Aid. They hired Animal Aid’s first vet and opened the Animal Aid hospital in 2003. In the early months there were only four staff members, no ambulance, and not even a telephone! Animal Aid grew rapidly. Since that time their animal treatments have grown exponentially and by 2015, more than 50,000 animals have been treated. They have shifted from the original site which was very small to a rented 4-acres where 400 animals–250 who are under treatment and the rest in sanctuary –are housed each day and where 50 full-time staff members and volunteers from around the world take care of them.

 

They are a vegan family who look forward to greeting visitors and volunteers personally at the Animal Aid shelter.

 

Ontroerend: Zoveel pijn en dan opeens vanuit het niets is er hulp ( video )

A suffering street dog in India whose face was so badly deformed he resembled a pig has been given a new chance at life.

Animal rescue group Animal Aid India got a call from a village woman living on the outskirts of Udaipur who told it that a scrawny golden mutt could be seen wandering around with a snout the size of a basketball.

The group sent out a few volunteers to see if they could round up the unfortunate animal.

 

When they approached, they were shocked at what they saw. The left side of the pooch's face was so swollen that he looked more like a pig than a dog.

Although the pup wagged his tail when he saw the volunteers and happily ate the bits of biscuit they held out for him, he wouldn't let them touch him.

The volunteers had to get wily and one distracted the dog with food while the other tossed a butterfly net over his body.
 

 They then transported the dog back to base camp.

There, a veterinarian determined that the dog's swollen face was from a huge abscess -  likely formed from a dog bite that had become infected.

 

Performing surgery outside in less than ideal conditions, the vet sedated the dog, shaved and cleaned his cheek area, and then cut open the abscess, which gushed forth a practical river of bloody mucus.

 

The vet then flushed out the cavity, inserted a drainage tube, and stitched the pooch back up.

Within two weeks, his wound had healed, his face looked thin and normal, and he was back to wagging his tail on the grounds of the rescue.

According to Animal Aid's website, most of the street dogs they perform medical procedures on are then returned back to the street, where they are accustomed to living and usually travel in packs. The sheer number of street dogs makes it impossible for all of them to be permanently housed at the sanctuary.

But some animals with extreme disabilities will remain at the sanctuary.

It is unclear what will happen to this particular dog.

Awesome: Miracles do happen......

Straathond Alice uit India werd in oktober gevonden door medewerkers van Animal Aid India. Ze lag in een tuktuk, en de eerste indruk was dat haar huid van steen was. Dit werd veroorzaakt door de schurftmijt, die de huid verwondt waardoor er op den duur een harde korst ontstaat. Van haar vacht was weinig tot niets over, en het was maar de vraag of ze er ooit van zou herstellen.

Straathonden leven een zwaar bestaan. Als ze ziek zijn is er geen zorg, ze moeten vechten voor hun kostje en kunnen ten prooi vallen aan parasieten als vlooien en mijten. Dat overkwam straathond Alice. Toen ze werd gevonden door Animal Aid India leek ze wel ‘alsof ze van steen was gemaakt’, aldus haar redders. De schurftmijt had genadeloos toegeslagen (scabiës).

Liefdevolle aandacht

 Alice had heel haar leven op straat geen goede verzorging gehad, het lot van de meeste zwerfhonden. Maar gelukkig namen de medewerkers van Animal Aid India de schuwe hond mee naar een opvang. Daar is ze behandeld tegen de schurftmijt met een dikke laag crème en medicijnen, regelmatig een bad en goed eten. Liefdevolle aandacht die een wonderbaarlijke uitwerking had.

Succes

 Dat de zorg succesvol was bleek al na 4 dagen, toen Alice duidelijk vooruitgang boekte. Na 4 weken leek het onmogelijke gebeurd te zijn. Haar vacht groeide alweer aan en Alice leek in niets op het hoopje ellende toen ze gevonden werd. Wie de onderstaande beelden bekijkt kan zijn ogen bijna niet geloven.

Ziek uitgeput alle hoop verloren......de transformatie van dit hoopje ellende is een wonder ( video )

 Hij leed aan schurft en lag opgekruld langs de kant van de weg toen Animal Aid hem aantrof in de Indiase stad Udaipur. De hond was heel erg bang en had alle hoop verloren. Vrijwilligers van Animal Aid transformeerden dit hoopje ellende op twee maanden tijd in een knappe, vrolijke hond. Ongelofelijk mooi!

De uitgehongerde viervoeter verkeerde in levensgevaar en moest met een net gevangen worden. Hij was duidelijk al lang niet meer liefdevol aangeraakt. Bij elke aanraking schrok hij zich rot.

Animal Aid verzorgde zijn infecties en na tien dagen was zijn huid al geheeld. Twee maanden lang werd de hond intensief behandeld. Wat eerst onmogelijk leek, gebeurde: de viervoeter veranderde in een gezonde en altijd vrolijk kwispelende hond die dol bleek op menselijk contact.

Animal Aid filmde de opmerkelijke wederopstanding en plaatste de video op YouTube waar de beelden op vijf dagen tijd al meer dan een miljoen keer werden bekeken
