About this campaign
A few weeks ago, Stray Dog Support welcomed this precious little puppy named Skipper into their program after they were contacted by a lady who rescues cats in Cairo, Egypt. She had spotted Skipper dragging himself along the streets, clearly unable to use his back legs. They don’t know exactly what happened to him.
Fortunately, they were able to get Skipper to safety and straight to the vet.
X-rays revealed permanent damage to his spine. They’re hopeful that with physical therapy, nutritious food, supplements, and lots of love, they might see improvement. Miracles do happen, and Skipper deserves every chance.
When he arrived, he was also covered in fleas and was so severely anemic that they truly believe they got to him just in time. Had he remained on the streets much longer, he may not have survived.
Today, Skipper is safe in boarding care while he gains strength and begins his rehabilitation. Despite everything he’s endured, he is the sweetest, cutest little boy, and they are determined to help him thrive.
As puppy season begins, Stray Dog Support is already being inundated with more and more little ones needing urgent help—and they know this is only the beginning. Every rescue like Skipper’s is only possible because of your support.
If you’d like to be part of Skipper’s journey and help cover his veterinary care, boarding, food, supplements, and rehabilitation so he has a chance at finding his forever home, please consider making a donation. Every dollar makes a difference, and together we can give this brave little boy the future he deserves. Thank you.
