Pintu Has Never Known Safety, Help Change That

Pintu has spent his life surviving on the streets of India. Now, he’s facing a painful medical battle that he can’t overcome without help.

When the Stray Animal Foundation of India rescued Pintu, he had a severe open wound on his head that was infested with maggots, along with a large tumor that urgently needs to be removed.

His care began immediately and without hesitation. The maggots were carefully removed, and Pintu is now receiving daily wound cleaning and dressing to help his head heal and prevent further infection. Additional diagnostic testing revealed another serious concern: Pintu is severely anemic.

Right now, his body simply isn’t strong enough for the surgery he needs.

His veterinary team is working to improve his blood levels and stabilize his condition. Once his bloodwork reaches a safer range, Pintu can undergo surgery to remove the large tumor and take another important step toward recovery.

For a street dog who has already endured so much time without medical care, rescue is only the beginning. Pintu will need continued wound care, treatment for his anemia, repeat testing, surgery, and support in the weeks ahead.

The Stray Animal Foundation of India is committed to seeing him through, but they need help covering the cost of his care.

Please consider donating toward Pintu’s treatment. Every contribution can help give him the strength to reach surgery—and the chance to finally heal.
