About this campaign

Balloon's story is another heartbreaking reminder of the cruelty that so many stray dogs endure.

When Stray Dog Support found Balloon, she had suffered unimaginable abuse. Someone had cut her with a knife and tied a rope tightly around her neck, leaving her injured, frightened, and fighting to survive. No animal should ever have to experience that kind of suffering.

Today, Balloon is safe and receiving the care she desperately needs, but her journey is far from over. She faces ongoing medical treatments, wound care, and a long recovery process before she can truly begin to heal—both physically and emotionally.

Despite everything she has endured, Balloon continues to show remarkable resilience. With every act of kindness, every share, and every donation, you are helping her move one step closer to the life she deserves.

We are asking for your support to help cover Balloon's medical expenses and ongoing care. No donation is too small, and every dollar makes a difference in his recovery.

Please donate if you can and share Balloon's story. Together, we can show her that while humans caused her pain, compassion and kindness will help him heal.

6/27/26 Update

Balloon is still receiving treatment to fully heal. We are thankful for your continued support.

8/4/26 Update

Thanks to all of you, Balloon is continuing to heal in the hospital in Cairo, Egypt. Her neck wound is still proving to be the biggest challenge, but the swelling in her face is slowly going down. Healing takes time. She is the sweetest girl with the kindest, most gentle energy, and we’re so grateful she’s getting the care she needs. Once she is healed, she has an adopter waiting for her in the U.S.
