Hit and Left Helpless — Help Kael Heal and Walk Again

When rescuers from Baw Baw Animal Welfare found Kael, he was lying helpless on the street — weak, trembling, and unable to walk. Both his tiny legs were badly wounded. He was starving, dehydrated, and in such intense pain that he couldn’t even move to find food or shelter.

The team rushed him to the hospital, where vets discovered just how serious his condition was. Kael’s reflexes were almost absent, and his coordination was so poor he couldn’t even hold his head steady. It was clear he had suffered severe trauma — possibly hit by a car or struck by someone. Despite it all, Kael tried to lift his head and wag his tail, as if to say, “Please don’t give up on me.”

Now, Kael is receiving urgent treatment and round-the-clock care. His recovery plan includes antibiotics to prevent infection, steroids to reduce brain and spinal inflammation, and nerve-supportive vitamins to help restore his mobility. But this kind of care is expensive, and Baw Baw Animal Welfare depends entirely on compassionate supporters to fund lifesaving treatment for dogs like Kael.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps cover Kael’s vet visits, medication, and rehabilitation so he can one day run and play like a healthy puppy again.
