About this campaign

Meet Kiwi, a tiny street puppy from India who has already been through so much in her short life. Found wandering the streets in desperate need of help, Kiwi arrived at the Stray Animal Foundation of India with severe rickets and anemia.

Kiwi’s condition is critical. Rickets, a disease caused by severe vitamin D deficiency, has left her bones brittle and deformed. Anemia has drained her of energy, making it hard for her to even walk. Her body is crying out for nutrition, care, and a chance to heal. Her journey toward recovery will be long and difficult, requiring ongoing treatment, medication, and specialized care.

Her body, weak and fragile, shows the heartbreaking toll of living on the streets without food, shelter, or proper care. But Kiwi’s story doesn’t end here. With your support, she can have the chance at a happy and healthy life that she so rightfully deserves.

Kiwi may have come from a life of hardship, but with your help, she will know what it feels like to be loved and cared for. Please consider making a donation today to help Kiwi and change her life forever.

Update 5/4/2025:
With expert veterinary treatment, high-quality nutrition, and round-the-clock love, Kiwi began to heal. And now, thanks to that care, her transformation has been nothing short of incredible.

Her legs have straightened, her anemia is under control, and she is finally able to enjoy the life every puppy deserves. Today, Kiwi is playful, affectionate, and full of puppy energy — a sweet soul who charms everyone she meets.

But this recovery came at a significant cost. Kiwi’s medical treatment, supplements, specialized food, and follow-up care have been expensive — and the bills are still being paid.

The Stray Animal Foundation of India continues to cover the cost of Kiwi’s care, and they need the support of compassionate donors to do so. Kiwi is living proof of what love and proper care can do — and her story is far from over. With continued support, she can look forward to a healthy, happy life ahead. Please consider donating!
