A Little Puppy, A Big Fight: Help Raksha Heal from Her Severe Injuries

Meet Raksha, a tiny street puppy found in heartbreaking conditions on the busy streets of India. She was discovered with painful wounds and a severe fracture, likely caused by being run over by a vehicle. Despite her traumatic experience, Raksha still holds on to the hope of a better future, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Stray Animal Foundation of India.

An x-ray revealed the extent of her injuries — a fracture that requires strict rest and care. As she is still very young, the veterinarians have placed her in a bandage and prescribed strict cage rest to ensure she doesn’t injure herself further. While there is hope she will heal with time and patience, there is a possibility that surgery may be necessary if her condition doesn’t improve.

Raksha is still very fragile. She is fighting against the odds, but we can’t let her fight alone. Your contribution will directly support Raksha’s treatment, including: ongoing medical care, x-rays, and any necessary surgeries, pain management and wound care, a safe and comfortable space to recover during her strict cage rest, and food and hydration to keep her strong as she heals.

Please consider donating and being a part of Raksha's healing journey. You can help her get the medical attention she needs, so she can run and play without pain again.

Update 5/8/25:
Thanks to emergency veterinary care, weeks of treatment, and a lot of love, Raksha’s wounds have healed and her leg is no longer broken. She will always have scars — both visible and invisible — that tell the story of what she’s survived. But what’s most remarkable is this: Raksha's spirit was never broken.

Despite everything she endured, Raksha remains playful, affectionate, and full of life. Her tail wags at the slightest attention. She chases butterflies. She cuddles with her rescuers. She lives — with joy and gratitude and hope.

Raksha’s medical bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing care have been significant. Donate today to be part of Raksha’s journey from abandoned to adored. Together, we can show her that her life matters — and that kindness can rewrite even the saddest story.
